Fact Monster (Laura Zalfa)


FactMonster is a very helpful website for young students. The website is very user friendly and makes learning fun. It was designed by Information Please as a tool for younger audiences. Students can easily fact-find. Users have access to time lines, almanacs, atlases, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a homework center.

I think this is a great tool because it introduces young students to researching using Web 2.0 tools. It is a beginner website for finding useful educational information online. It is important to design websites for young students because they are the future and need to be introduced to Web 2.0 tools early in order to understand and be comfortable later on. Not only can young students use this website, parents and teachers will benefit greatly too!
