 * Title:** **Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids


 * Comments:** This site is great tool for anyone that wants to learn about history. The home page is very simple and has different age groups divided in sections. You are able to easily navigate to your section and begin to learn new, interesting material. There is a section for parents and teachers that give you many options. From there you can find links and different tools to use for your students. One problem could be that all the pictures on this site are cartoon and more kid related even when you move up into the higher grade levels. This site is so simple and easy to navigate it makes it very student friendly. I could have my students search different materials and play different games that this site provides. Each section has different categories and that will make it easier for my students to search the site. The different categories make learning easier for the students and our class would have fun learning the material.

I really enjoy this site. It allows you to pick the grade level that you are interested, and it provides a fun layout for you to look at while you are looking over the information. This site is so great because you can pick specific topics and the overall not to busy for the students to get distracted. You are correct you are able to easily navigate your way through the site and the kids are able to navigate their way as well. -TW

 * Title:** **American's Story from American's Library


 * Comments:** This site is a great tool for learning American History. It contains different sections that are easy to navigate. You can learn the history timeline, read about some famous Americans, or explore the 50 states. This site allows people from all ages to learn interesting information about American history. There are many facts on this site and also many different site links that provide as much information as possible for the reader. This site is student and adult friendly and would be great in the classroom. One problem I noticed with this site is when clicking on a section you are given many options that could make navigating somewhat difficult. I could use this in the classroom for projects and games. The students could be quizzed on important facts about different states and also facts about some of the famous Americans. Trivia questions and jeopardy games could also be conducted from this site.

I used this site too and I actually really find it extremely useful. It comes with many ways to teach students from different ages. Even though it has games, they are games that do help you learn something new at the end of the day. It's going to be a great source to come back to when we need to recap on the history of this country. -**DS**
