Chapter 2: FCC KIDS Zone

Another website I looked at that was supported by Chapter 2 was the FCC Kids Zone. This is a website sponsored by the Federal Communications Commission. The site serves to educate students on several different types of everyday technology like cable, cell phones, internet, etc. The site features a history sections that allows students to discover the background stories on the aforementioned technologies. This site also helps the student to become more familiar with the FCC and its purpose. A nice feature of this site is in addition to the introductory pages, it features three pages separated by grade level. This allows students to find appropriate material for their age. These individual pages feature a sort of FAQ set-up. Again, everything is focused on technology and how it originated. This would be a great website to allow students to explore, so they could be more educated on how their favorite cell phones were created and why they were as well. Overall I think this website is good instructional tool to use in providing students with a brief history of the technologies they are regularly using.
