 * Title**:Cells Alive!
 * URL**:@http://www.cellsalive.com/index.htm


 * Comments**:This site was a very fun and interactive web site.This would be a good tool to use in the classroom for many reasons. As a teacher this site has a lot of main topics that may be covered in a typical high school biology class. A teacher could use most of the videos on the site, as well as the information. As a learner this site would be fun to use. There are a lot of fun interactive things to do that will keep them interested and would cause them to stay on task. The real only limitation i found was some things you need to buy that might come in handy in the classroom, but most of the content on this site was free. I would use this in the class to show the videos and the How big? slid show to the class. Also the students could go on the site to take the quiz's and also solve some of the puzzles on the site.

This site supports teaching and learning because it has a lot of interactive videos that show how the cells work. It also includes some quizzes that can be used to show how much kids have learned from watching the videos and looking at the information that was given. Not only does this website include videos but it also includes a ton of information on each and every cell and also on all of the different stages that cells go through when they are developing. A limitation of this website is just that it might not be very easy to understand. Although high school students have enough knowledge to understand this some parts may be confusing. This website could be used in a classroom by using the quizzes to see how much information they have retained from what is shown. Also the videos show exactly how cells evolve during the different stages which are very useful when going over cell stages.

 * Title:**Get Body Smart
 * URL:**@http://www.getbodysmart.com/menu.html


 * Comments:** This web site was a very informational site. I could use this in my classroom. This site has all the body systems, and a in depth look at them. A teacher could use this web site for any topic covered in a typical high school anatomy class. This for a learner could be a good site for many reasons. This first is not only do they go in depth with their information, there are also good diagrams to go along with them. Some limitations are there are not games or anything like that on the site. The web site is also trying to sell you a text book so that gets a bit distracting. I would use this for my classroom for when i am just about to start a new body system it would be a good tool to introduce the students to. I would also let the students use the site to take the quiz's on there so, they could get some practice questions before a test or quiz.


 * Comments AV:** This is a very good educational website about the human body. It lists some of the body systems and arrows with the names of each bone, muscle, or tissue associated with the system. A limitation of this website is that it could only be used for high school students because the site is to advanced for other levels of education. Another limitation is that the website is kind of hard to navigate because there are so many choices and links for where to go. Something that I did like about the website is that it had a quiz that would allow for the student to test themselves on their knowledge about the human body. A way a teacher could use this in a classroom is by allowing the students to go on the website and explore the site on their own. It would be a good way for student to test themselves on the locations of various bones, tissues, and muscles. AV
