Website:  History Animated

Cost:  Free

Rating by Jules~ 4 Stars

     (This was rated a 4/5 because it has limited access for iPads- not all history links are usable by        the iPads. If you are using iPads for your classes, precheck on website on the iPad to confirm it      works (runs mainly on Java)). 

Difficulty Level:  Beginner
There is only sound for the background (music or action sounds from wars).  Students read the top or bottom of the screen.

Grade:  6-12

This is a very cool interactive History website that brings the battles of  the Civil War, Revolutionary War, WWI, WWII to life.  Students can click through at their own pace to see the movement on the maps for where the battles took place.  There are fun sound effects in the background (marching and war sounds) while students read about the Wars at the top of the page.  This website also gives book recommendations to students for reports or further learning. One of the Teachers in the High School tried this site out with the iPads without a huge success.  The teacher realized the website runs much better on a pc!  All in all- a very cool website!
