== __Title:__ Wikipedia: Separation of Powers **__URL:__** @http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers ==

**__Comments:__** This site has all the information a teacher could use in his or her classroom when introducing the separation of powers in our U.S government. As a student the website is extremely easy to navigate. Looking from a students perspective the website does not seem to have a lot of creditable sources through out the document in individual spots but the information located through out the site is easy to double check just by doing some more searching on the same topic. The site does not really contain any limitations but yet once again does not have credible sources through out the entire page. Along the bottom of the page there are plenty of great resources and external links out to other supporting websites with some of the same information. In a classroom this website would be useful because you could pull any of the information you find credible directly from the website into the days lesson on the separation of powers in the United States government. -BA

__Comments:__ I think that this site has a lot of information and is a good source as long as the sources can be verified. I would tend to stay away from Wikipedia because they usually cannot be. However, if you are looking for basic facts, I think that you may be safe. As was pointed out, there a some good external links on the bottom that can be useful. A plus is that if this site were to be used in the classroom, students would be used to navigating it, viewing it, and working with it. Wikipedia is a comfort zone for students. More than likely, I would use this site as a secondary source if I were teaching, not as a primary source for my lesson. Overall, I feel that this site just isn't as reliable as it could be and that there are better ones out there that are more credible. -KS 

== __Title:__ U.S. Constitution Online **__URL:__** @http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_sepp.html ==


 * __Comments:__** This site was helpful in the fact that it has an author located at the bottom and has been updated recently. When you would like to find out more about the author just click the link directly to his page. When trying to first introduce or just another day in the classroom about the United States Constitution or its Separation of Powers this website has that helpful information. The page its self contains little color and is not extremely appealing to the eye. The navigation on the page is basically your back and forward buttons on your navigation bar. The site does have many links to pages in the site and other pages out. This website also contains external links to other informative webpages as well. In a classroom this website may not be as great of an idea to bring into the classroom considering the looks of the page its self the page alone has informative information that would be helpful. You could use this website to inform students that there are decent websites out there that don't always look extremely attractive at first. This website could also be used in a classroom for the simple technique of teaching about any parts of the U.S Constitution. -BA
