PBS Site

http://www.pbs.org/video/
Review by: Sam Atkinson

Videos are divided into collections:
American at War, Be Green, Cold War, Iran in Flux, etc.

And Topics:
Cinema, Culture, Arts, Lit., Nature and Envirnment, etc.

The site was average. I think most of the videos are very dry. Even high school students could be easily bored. If I were to use this site I would use it was a web quest. Students could not be expected to sit and watch the videos on their own. The videos are easy to find and are up to date. This site would be very useful to an AP civics class. On this site I was able to find a link to http://kids.pbs.org/go/video/. The kid’s site would be fantastic for students k-3. It has a great search engine and is very easy to use.
