  2. Deborah,

    Great website! I used this website as a way to incorporate technology into a social studies lesson. It is a comprehensive website that incorporates REAL pictures of the information that children are learning. Also, the computer can read some parts of the website to the class. Also, the information at the bottom of this website allows teachers to explore in depth more topics related to the first gathering and share this information with the class.
