I selected the allaboutexplorers.com to complete the activity. I really liked this organization of this website. I also think that this would be a great website to utilize within any grade level history classroom. The website seems to be registered to a gentleman who works for an independent school district. The links within the site all appear to lead to museums and other school/education based sites. The whole site seems to be only for information purposes.
When I conducted a search for information on explorers through google.com, excite.com, and yahoo.com the first sites that appeared in the list were wikipedia.com and ask.com. There were a lot of advertisements also.
I mostly go to sites that pertain to the subjects that I teach. I use OWL Purdue, lessonplanet.com, and edmodo.com. Lessonplanet.com is a paid site that allows people to upload their lesson plans for members to access. I really like this site because the search engine within makes it really easy to get the lesson plans I want.
The thing I was most interested in was the easywhois.com. I think this is really neat. I plan to use this with my students. They seem to depend too much on wikipedia.com, answers.com, and ask.com for their information. I believe that is activity was very informative for me.
