Description

Here is an expert guide for students to the vast resources on the Web. The handy A-Z format enables users to quickly research key topics in the history curriculum by using reliable, level-appropriate sites chosen by a curriculum expert. Each topical entry offers an annotated list of sites chosen for their accuracy and for their ability to answer questions generated by the curriculum. Citations include a detailed description of the site that discusses its strengths and weaknesses and explains how to navigate it most effectively. Other chapters present basic information about the Web--search engines and other search tools, how to evaluate Web material, and copyright and plagiarism issues--as well as handy information on resources for teachers and parents, museums, summer programs, and careers.
