Comment: On HyperHistory.com you are able to look up specific people in history, events, or maps. The site allows you to see the time line and give you a color code to follow specific countries on the time line. Although, the site features major civilizations. Having major civilizations works well with teaching a middle school or high school class because you are only going to focus on the major civilizations. You won't have to dig through other information you are not interested in. I think this site is great for those who are teaching older classes. This site would be to busy for those in elementary school, but a higher middle school student and high school would find this site very useful. To use this specific site in the classroom you could have the students explore on their own, but they need to present a few points to the class about a major civilization that they found interesting. this way the entire class becomes farmiliar with the site and several different civilizations.

Comment: The sire Historyplace.com allows you to pick from several American History and World History events. This site is in colors which make it easy for the students to stay focused and interested in the web site. The site is easy to be directed on. The topics lead you to specifics in the area. For example you can look under the 'World War II' ear and find more specifics in that area, like African-americans during that time period. This site would work perticullarly good for middle and high school students, although I think that it would be to advanced for elementary school students. The students in the classroom can use this site to bring about various views on a time period in history. Each group of students could pick a particular ear and bring about fun facts and different view points about the time period. this site would be easy for the students to navigate and it would grant a lot of information fot the students.
