We used <a href=\"http:\/\/checkthis.com\">CheckThis<\/a> which allows the students to make a quick webpage with pictures and maps. First they picked Egypt or China and wrote the title.  Then they had to write a few sentences about the ancient civilization, including information about its location, landmarks, and contributions. Next they did a Google search for an image that would represent their civilization.  I gave them a word bank to use, or they could choose their own search terms. Once they found a picture, they just added the link to it in their CheckThis website.  I also wanted them to include a map, so we went to Google Maps, searched for the country, copied the link, and pasted it into CheckThis.  If we had more time, the students could have added a poll or a question to their site.  I copied all their links and posted them to a Google Doc for easy access.
