=__Web Evaluations__= **Comments:** This site is great for teaching high school kids about WWII. It is supported by a credible company and the majority of the information was taken from the Oxford University Library.The only main limitation of this site is that it has a lot of advertising. If you are able to ignore that then you can search through tons of articles with credible sources and reliable information.I could use this site in my class room by pulling up articles and images that goes according to my lesson plan. This site also had links to videos on you tube. The videos i have watched seem very reliable but you must be careful if you present this site to your students. Make sure you know where your going and that you have watched the video before.

Comment: I would have to agree that this is a very informal site about WWII. I really like how they have a section where you can find many related links and articles about WWII. It would be a good site to use for an older group of students. There is a lot of information so it would be easier for them to take in all the information than it would be for students in a much younger age group. I also like that the information comes from a credible source. Like you said, I think the one major downfall to this website would have to be the large amount of advertising. Many students would find it to be very distracting. **(JCP)**

Pearl Harbor Raid, 7 December 1941 **Comments:** This site is excellent if you want to learn more about pearl harbor. It has articles, images, and credible sources.It has no advertising and everything is from a historical standpoint, so there is no bias information.The only problem that would be noticeable on this web site is that it is not the most entertaining.It's not colorful or pretty but i don't think that's a big deal because the students are in high school. You will need to be careful about some of the images on this site. I would use this site in my classroom by going to articles and explaining the events of Pearl Harbor.Even though they are in high school some of the pictures can be gruesome and it is best to avoid them in my opinion.

Comment: I really liked this site. I thought it was a great site to use for teaching high school or college students. It wouldn't be the best site to use to teach younger age groups because it isn't entertaining so they would have a hard time paying attention to it. I really like all the information and dates that they have on this page. They also have many photos that would be useful in class. I really like that I didn't have to search my way through any advertising. I think that was very helpful and it was important when I was looking at the web page. **(JCP)**
