CultureGrams-World Edition The World Edition of the CultureGrams site contains information about different places in the world. Some information included is the background, people, food, lifestyles, culture, society and more about the different countries of the world. This information is very current and it also is very reliable. The students would be able to find almost any information about a country that they would want to. This site is really easy to navigate. All of the information is on the same page and if there is more information then there are links to all those pages. I would defiantly use this site as an educator because it is easy for the students to use and it also has all of the information in one spot so you don't have to search all over the web or in books. As an educator, I would use this site to help talk about other countries and let the students get to know different places around the world. I would have the students do country reports by gathering the information from this site. I think overall this is a great site to help educators and students know more about other coutries.

Kids World Book

The Kids World Book is a great site that contains information about all different subjects for children to use. There is information about people, arts, plants and animals, science and math, places, history and government, sports and hobies and much more. The information that is in this site is geared towards younger children so it is easier for them to understand it. The quality of this information is very helpful and is current. There is not a whole lot of information of each subject, but that is good for children so that they can understand it. This site is very easy to navigate and sense it is mainly for kids, everyone would find it easy to navigate. As an educator I would use this site to learn information about the different subjects so that I could teach the students it. I would use this with my students to have them do research projects or group projects together. One fun area of the site is the animal section. I would have each student, or goup of students, pick an animal from the list and they could do a project with that animal and gather information about it to share with the class. Younger grade students would really like this site to help them with their work.

EBSCO

EBSCO is a great source for people of all ages to find articles about almost any subject. There are many different databases in EBSCO that you can search through to find what you are looking for. It is appealing to all ages and anyone could find the information that they need. The articles are pretty current, however, they do still keep some older ones in there so that you can use them for references as well. The site is very easy to navigate because it has the search box that you can use and that helps narrow down the articles. As an educator I would use this site to help me gather articles and different information about a certain topic that I am discussing with my students. I could also have the students look up information and they could research different subjects and present those to the class.
