This site contains stories of student from different countries around the world. It has several other links on it to read and learn about different countries around the world. This is a great way for students to learn about different cultures. The quality of this information is high. It is recent because the copyright says 2011. I found this site really easy to navigate because it is seperated into 4 distinct links/areas of learning. As an educator I would use this site when talking about different countries and cultures. I think it is extremely beneficial for kids to learn more about the world. When talking about world history I would show them more about a specific culture where the story was taking place. I would have this students use this to do reports on the United States, kids in the world, different countries, and provinces in Canada.

This site is a large database for books, articles, activities, and more. This is high quality information and at the click of the mouse a student could find hundreds of articles on a topic such as geography. This is a current site to use because it has been updated as recent as October of 2011. At first I thought this site was really confusing to navigate. However, the more I familiarized myself with it the more I understood its purpose. As an educator I would use this site for many things. I could use this site to find activities and stories for a lesson plan. They have links for almost every subject. My students could benefit even more from using this site. They would be able to find a lot of information on any subject in which they had homework for. They could study for a test, work on a presentation, or a book report.

This site has learning material for all ages. It covers anything from elementary school to any adult seeking to learn more about their career. I feel that this is partially a high quality website. I say this because when I clicked on the elementary school tab, all that came up was reading and math improvement. Those are 2 important subjects but they are only part of what the students are learning. This is a current website to use because the copyright says 2011. This is an easy website to navigate because each tab is clearly labeled with the grade or age group. As an educator I would set students up with this site to give them further practice in reading or math at the school or at home. Students could use this freely just to study more and perfect their skills. I know I struggled with math growing up so this would be beneficial for the students.
