General Reference Collection-Culture Gram  Culture Gram has so many different things to explore. You can go to different states, countries, and provinces. After clicking on what you would like to explore it will give you information about the history, people, lifestyle, society and other facts. The information on here is very accurate and presents it in a fun exciting way. It was very easy to use and see everything it offers. As an educator I would use it to find facts on a unit that I was about to teach or even explore the site in class with them to see fun pictures and facts with them. [|Culture Grams]

Utah Collection- Counties of Utah  Counties of Utah lets’ you explore all the different counties in Utah. When you pick a county it comes to a page that shows a few pictures but gives you link to other websites. It does not have a lot of info on the county page; you have to search on the other links. It is easy to navigate if you don’t mind going through a bunch of links. As a educator it gives you access to information that you can use when studying Utah. Not only can you get a good image of Utah and the counties but also info all of the counties. I would not have a use for this if I was teaching younger grades but if teaching 5th or 6th I would let them go here and pick a county they want to do a report on get info from different sites.

I am pretty competitive and I like the idea of getting the class involved in a competition that would get the students motivated and excited about a project. It is easy to navigate once you get the hang out it or know what to do but at first you may be confusing. As an educator I would love to implement a competition of a project that could help the school or community. I would love to have the students update our project status.  [|Think Quest]
