Web Site Lists

Website Lists From the AVA Center

How We Evaluate Websites:

        Excellent -     An excellent site with good information, graphics, links, and educational value. Usually includes lesson plans. Usually includes multiple sections and topics.

        Very Good -   Almost as good as Excellent but not quite, maybe some of the links are missing or there aren't enough of them. Maybe there are fewer graphics or it's just a smaller site. Maybe there is just less information or there are no lesson plans or educational sections.

        Good - Still has good value as an information or a research site for students or teachers. Does not contain lesson plans or those that are there are brief. Frequently a site with a single type of information or topic such as a crossword puzzle or game.

Important: Don't assume that the only valuable sites are rated Excellent. A "Good" site may be just what you need.

Website lists are designed to be used by teachers and students in grades K-12 although many are not limited to those grade levels. Where possible, we note appropriate grade levels.

A Note About Webquests - What they are - How they work - How to create one

Many lesson plans, classroom activities and webquests are easily adaptable
to other grade levels.

Please be patient. These pages are long and some are slow to load, depending on your connection. They're worth the wait!
