__ Pioneer Library : __

__Website #1 Culture Grams: __ This site covers facts about different countries around the world. The quality of the information is quite extensive because the site explains details of what the country’s favorite recipes are, what the population siz e is, how to actually say the country’s name, etc. The site’s information is current as of this year. The Culture Gram website was fairly easy to navigate and I think would be easy enough to use in an elementary class. I would have my students use this site to help them understand and learn about different cultures and countries while experiencing it with the vast information this site provides.

__Website #2 Soundzabound: __ This site contains music that can be used for educational purposes. The songs of this website are mainly to be used for power points, audio uses on websites, background music, and videos. The information and songs are fairly current. The Sounzabound website is set up like most music websites with a search browser which makes finding songs easier for the user. As an educator I would use this site for background music of a power point to excite and grab a student’s attention. One way I would have my student’s use this site would be to educate them on a certain culture’s music that we would be studying. I am not sure if I would use this site often because of its limited song choices.

__Website#3World Book Encyclopedia: __

This site has information on everything since it is an encyclopedia online. The World book Encyclopedia information quality is great. The site is up-to-date information. The site is current as of this year. This page has been my favorite to visit because of the great use of visual effects on the page. Everything is easy to find and there are many different resources that are provided on any topic searched for. As an educator I would use this encyclopedia to learn more about topics I am teaching. I would have my students use this site for research projects or if any of the children want to know more about things we discuss in class they can check this site out.
