World InfoZone
http://www.worldinfozone.com/index.php

Have you ever needed to use the internet to find information on a country, but haven't been able to find a good site to use? Have you ever spent hours searching the web, but found practically nothing good to use? I often encountered that problem, until I found the site "World Info Zone." It's a great site with all the information you could possibly use on almost every country. I used it for a report on Jamaica, and it was absolutely great! It has wonderful pictures, interesting facts, and a well-written report covering such things as geography, environment, economy, history, culture, sports, and many other topics. It loads quickly and easily, is well organized, and is up-to-date. I found tons of good information to use, and it didn't take very long to get that information. This is an absolutely wonderful site to use for information on a specific country. I highly recommend it.

Internet Detectives is a publication produced by Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) middle school students as a resource for other K-12 students. It is an ongoing, cooperative effort of middle school Social Studies classrooms. Students find, evaluate and recommend Internet resources related to the curriculum. This project is supported by MMSD's Teaching and Learning Department and Library Media Services.

These Internet resources were evaluated on the basis of Site Selection Guidelines. Questions and comments regarding specific sites can be sent to the classroom teachers listed with the student author and school.
