I really enjoyed this software. Partially, because my family lives in Williamsburg. Therefore, I had some type of connection. I felt as though the ease of use was very easy. The games were easy to follow with good instructions. I loved the graphics. The website was very appealing. I feel as though this website could be helpful to all children second grade on up. I feel like this is the bench mark because many of the games and activities involve being able to read. Without knowing how to read, this website could become very frusterating to one. I think 2nd grade is perfect for this. They are beginning to gain a vocabulary and starting to learn about the relation to their community and the nation. This helps students identify and examine the different cultural diversity that can be found just here in the United States. I felt that all the games were appropriate. There is a variety which is a good thing. They had some art activities, actual games, and sites in which to learn more about the people of Colonial Williamsburg. For the older children, there are autobiographies and longer passages of who the people are. This shows how this educational website can be helpful to children amongst all levels.
