Information on the Additional Websites

The first website is entitled "A to Z Kids Stuff/Hawaii" and this is a very fun and educational site for kids in many ways. The places that I have posted are just mainly about the islands and their populations and what exciting things they have there, whereas this site is more factual and things that kids should most certainly know, such as Hawaii's state capital, flower, bird, dance, fish, etc. There is also information located on this website regarding the language, the famous people of Hawaii, and so the music. It is very straightforward and there are many links attached to this website so if you are curious about a certain thing, you can click on there and get more information about that specific place.

The next website listed is called "Fun Facts About Hawaii." This site is also a place where you can gather information about Hawaii and learn about its state flag, capital, etc. However, what is different about this site is that it offers games, quizzes, and activities you can do to help you learn more about Hawaii. A couple examples of that would be directions on how to make a flower lei, coloring in a map of Hawaii, or taking a quiz on the map of Hawaii. It is a fun and easy way to learn a lot about the state.

Third on the list is labeled as "Hawaii on the Web." This is another great place to learn about Hawaii. However, this website also includes some of the other surrounding islands. It is interesting because if you click on an island, it gives you the map of where it is located and a brief description of what it is. It also gives you an option to see what fun activities you can do on the island as well as what beaches you should explore while visiting. Last, it enables you to click on any of the places given so you can learn more about them and gather more information.

Next on the list is called "Learn How the Hawaiian Islands are formed." This website is much different in that it allows kids to learn how the Hawaiian islands are formed. It is very fun for children because is shows you pictures of each step of the process. They are pictures that can be easily understood by the children with a brief description of what is happening below it. It is a very fun and easy website to learn about how the Islands were formed.

The last website on the list is entitled "Virtually Hawaii." This is another virtual field trip of Hawaii but presented in a different way than mine is. The website presents the viewer with six of the eight islands to choose from. After you choose one, you click on it and it gives you 2-6 choices of places to view from that island. They are mostly places people will visit on trips, but it is helpful in learning about the culture and what each place has to offer. The website provides you with lots of pictures and brief descriptions that allow you to understand more about the islands.
