CONTENT:
This Web site has information on history and cultures from the ancient Egyptians to the North American Indians.
|
 |
AESTHETICS:
The site uses large text and wide spacing. which makes the text easy to read. Graphics are used sparingly but decorate the site's main pages. Some of the projects
are image-based.

ORGANIZATION:
It can take some time to become familiar with the structure of the site. A recently added site map helps. The navigation menu links at the top of each section are mostly jumps to other sections of the page but also link to the main menu which then leads back to the home page.

REVIEW:
This information at this site comes from two years of projects completed by sixth-grade students at the The International School of Amsterdam. The first year was devoted to various aspects of ancient Egypt and the following year students covered the Romans, Greeks, Celts, Vikings,
Incas, Aztecs, Chinese, Etruscans, Maoris, and North American Indians. The site also includes projects on the same topics from other schools. This is a great source of information for students or teachers studying ancient civilizations and a good example for teachers contemplating
a class project on the Web.
