The Biography Channel website is part of the corporate conglomerate A&E. The website offers biographical information in a free online format. Of course the website is advertising for their cable television programs that air on the A&E channel, the Biography channel, and the History channel, as well. The webpage loads easily and without popups and without advertisements. The website offers tons of information that appeals to both children and adults. From the home page, users have several options for different types of research and media. There are free biographical videos on performers, political figures, historical figures, artists, writers, athletes, media and business figures and criminals. There are also free videos on Women’s History, Black History, Hispanic History, and It happened This Week in History. There is also a link to Bio’s Best which includes some of the most popular biographies with links to videos and interactive elements, such as Design Your Game. This is a fabulous website for students, especially middle and high school level students. Most of the written biographical information is brief, but accompanied by videos and a multitude of pictures. The website is versatile enough that it lends itself as a tool for multiple disciplines. __Reviewer’s Opinion __ Students will love this website for many reasons. First, it is online and easy to access. Also, students will appreciate the short biographical sketches and the free access videos. The content is so varied that any student will be able to find something of interest. Teachers and media specialist will also love this website, mostly because it is engaging and it is free! I would use this website with elementary, middle and high school students. __Grade Level __: Elementary + __Subject Areas __: Any __Overall Rating: __10 ||  ||< //Tiffany's// comment :
