The website is pretty up to date and seems very creidable being linked to AOL. There is very little advertisment and the layout is very kid friendly.
 * Comments:**

This website looks very appealing and would be most likely used at the homes instead of the classroom. It is nice how you can explore the different kinds of histories and focus on just one area at a time. This site contains a wide variety of information which could also be a little confusing at times. There are many different options the kids could go on, such as games, videos, a homework helping tool and many more items. Kids would have fun on this website with learning involved!

 * Title**: Abraham Lincoln
 * URL**: http://www.siec.k12.in.us/~west/proj/lincoln/

This website is not as well put together but is still pretty informational. It gives links that take you to other sections of the site about Abraham Lincoln but may be a little challenging for younger students to use, there is a lack of pictures and because of all the differnt links clicked and can become unorganized. The web page has not been updated since the 1999 but most about what we know about Abraham Lincoln has not changed since then.
 * Comments:**

This website would not be useful for teaching in any grade. The website was made by a classroom, instead of a reputable, non-bias source. The limitations of this site include a confusing format and lack of updating. This website is suitable for older elementary students because the font size and lack of pictures would not be suitable for younger students. This site could be used to create a timeline of Abraham Lincoln's life. - Christine Rozwadowski
