Recommendation:

Good source of resources for both research and learning activities. The multimedia components contain quality graphics and interesting topics. Britain/Scotland centered content should be expected, though the site is expanding.

Description:

for K-6, link to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/forkids/ From the website: "On this site you'll find in-depth articles, multimedia (like games, virtual tours and animations) as well as bite-size material like timelines and short biographies of historic figures. All is designed for you to get more out of your interest in History." The site offers the British historical perspective, though is expanding into other areas. Find out about forthcoming chats and forums with history experts, read articles, research your family tree, see animations, go on virtual tours, hear voices from the past, study images from the past and participate in online activities related to history. Links on the kids pages connect to sites in Welsh and Gaelic.

Possible uses:

Research tool for students with interactive experiences. Multimedia components can be viewed individually or as a whole class. Games are included on most pages and can be used to review or enhance a learning experience. Sign up for a newsletter and be kept informed about new information on the site to see if it's relevant to your curriculum.
