 * Title**: Ben's Guide to the US Government
 * URL**: @http://bensguide.gpo.gov/
 * Comments: This site supports teaching and learning by allowing students to navigate through the site and discover information about the three branches of government. It also helps all levels of teaching because this site provides different formats for different age groups. The format for younger students has many pictures and contains larger sized text. The formats for older students rely more on text to teach the information. There are very few limitations to this site because it achieves its initial objective of teaching about the three branches of government, but it also teaches additional information about the US government. Teachers could use this in the classroom by providing it as a source for projects and research.

This is an excellent website for students at any grade level. The web page is easy to navigate and is helpful for all types of learners. It is kept up tp date and is a perfect tool to help enhance a history lesson. - Kara Richardson

Title: Picture History URL: @http://www.picturehistory.com **
 * Comments:** This site supports teaching and learning by providing students with pictures about historical events that they maybe learning about in the classroom. This website would be an excellent source for students to use in their projects or research. This site has limitations because it is formatted for older students; the text is small and the vocabulary that is used would be too hard for younger children to understand. Also, the pictures do not come with information, so the students would already need to have gathered the information before searching for a picture. Teachers could use this in the classroom by providing it as a source for students to use for their projects or research.

 //I thought that Picture History was a good site for high school students,// //although it did look a little bland. If I were to use this site in my classroom I would route it to a more specific page. Picture History did not capture my eye, it had very few colors, and wasn't very exciting. This would be a good site for students to use in research for a class project. -Amanda Recchia//
