Primary Use: This site is good for anyone; great for teachers and students doing research on states.

Description: Great site! Students can select a state and open it’s folder. Inside the folder are tons of statistics. If you click on the state button of the stats page, you are taken to the state’s web page! It also has the words to the state’s song and other fun goodies!

Comments: Very easy to use, but does not meet the criteria for “Bobby approved,” for individuals with visual impairment. The information is current and maintained (last 2001) and the links draw the searcher in for further exploration.
