 * Comments**: This is a good tool to use a a virtual tool guide. Many school districts are unable to allow or afford to have students travel to museums so this is an oppertunity for them to do so.

 * Title of Site**: Kids Know it Network


 * Hyperlink:** http://www.kidsknowit.com/


 * Comments:** This website is pretty amazing to use as a classroom tool. Especially if within the classroom you may not be able to afford books for everyone. This website breaks information for every field of study down into chapters that you can explore. You can even focus on one main subject in order to gain full understanding. You can study everything from this one website. The website used many pictures which would help keep intrest, however the reading may be too advanced for some levels.

 * Title of site:** National Geographic Kids


 * Hyperlink:** http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/


 * Comments**: This is a useful tool for kids to get to know at a young age. This way they can become fans of the popular magazine and develop a passion for it later on. National Geographic has cleared a path in many fields that you can focus on within the lesson you are using this source. In terms of history many aspects are covered in the website in a way that is easier for levels to understand. With the visual nature that is created you can discuss the photgraphy that has been used and awarded through the years from this magazine. Lastly and maybe some of the most important, is the scientific nature of the information given that can change outlooks and explain deeper in depth the topic at hand.
