This site is great for emailing either across the country or town to town in the United States. This is a great communication site with other classrooms. Since 1996, ePALS has offered teachers a way to integrate the use of technology into the classroom and help educate students on history, geography, culture and the emerging global community. This site is great for teachers, students, and parents. It is user friendly for researching any information for state information such as State birds, colleges, following the campaign 2000, flashcards, songs, teacher tools to teach a state unit.
Parents can go in and find tourism department free online information.
This one is another good one. This site shows each state and its information. It also shows how the US developed by years on a map. This site links you to the Washington D.C. and the branches of Government. There are games and puzzles.
