Encyclopedia

http://www.encyclopedia.com/

I would recommend this website to a colleague or student because it is an excellent, credible and versatile resource. The range of topics covered in the Encyclopedia is extensive and the information is reliable and gathered from over 100 trustworthy websites. It can be utilized as a quick and accessible references during instruction or discussion because it is easily navigated by the search bar on the home page. It is straight-forward enough for students to interact with easily and could to be listed as a possible starting point for students to begin research for class activities. The site is also enriched by a web of external links throughout the articles that continue the exploration on the subject. Many of the articles are clustered together to form groups of relevant materials. This aspect of the website could be particularly useful for teachers when they begin planning units and want to gather a wealth of information. Some of the grouping may be interesting as self-contained lessons because they offer controversial and interdisciplinary topics.
