Title:** U.S. History/history for kids //Also this site could be utilized in the classroom through the use of its video content. Under some of the links to there are videos that could be used as an introduction to a lecture planned to be given in class. for example there is a link to a page about Benjamin Franklin and on it is a video that is an introduction to it. This would grab the attention of students and start your lecture off with a fun new idea that the students may like. --J.R.L//

 * Comments:** This a great site for students to use. The site has many links that do work and provide a good amount of information. One of the links goes to an online textbook that deals with topics dating all the way back before the American Revolution. The textbook ends by talking about today's America. I could use this in the classroom because there is good amount of information about our country's history. The website also has links to many interesting events or papers that have been made in history. For example, a student can click on a link called the Constitution. On the link, students can read the whole Constitution and really understand the most important document ever written in the United States. This website has many features that will help students learn whatever they want about our country's history.

//The ushistory.org site has some really cool links in it, such as the explanation of proper display of the American flag//, //but it focuses mainly on historical places and events in Philadelphia. Since Philadelphia has a lot of Revolutionary War era history in it, this site would be good for a lesson plan concerning the Revolution, but it may only be able to be used in a limited way because the scope of the website is small, and would have to be used along with other, broader, resources.// K.T.S

The website www.ushistory.org was very fun and enjoyable to play with. I would use it in my classroom for middle school students.All page is nicely laid out and organized. The links work and display accurate historical information. Students would have fun looking at this website, insted of just reading from a textboook. CMF

This site is a great way for children to learn the basics of history. It does a great job for giving them the key facts, while not overwhelming them with too many facts. The website also has been updated as of late, and is not bias at all with any of its information. There is some limitations for students on this website. It shows a good amount of links, but besides those links, they cannot go anywhere else. The links can be pretty helpful to the students. Teachers can use this site in class because this website is great for kids. They can learn about all different kinds of history from U.S. history, to ancient Egypt. It has a really good amount of information to pick from. It is a nice, fun, educational site for kids to learn about history. ==**//This site is also a good tool for younger students because it has a variety of activities that could make it fun for them to learn in a new creative way. It is hard at times to keep younger students intrigued with learning about historical figures or events, but with the use of fun activities it can become a lot easier to efficiently teach them. There is also a downfall to this concept as well because if the right activities are not used the student may run astray from the actual topic and be more focused on the game itself.--J.R.L//**==
