Paragraph describing the websites characteristics and how the website
could be used as a resource:
The Teen Scene is an interactive forum that is attached to the student section
of the National Agriculture in the Classroom website. This site allows agriculture
students to choose tabs and learn about various areas in the agriculture fields.
There is also links to several quizzes so students can have a fun way to test their
knowledge. There is also links to blogs so students can see what others their age
are saying about important topics in agriculture.

Paragraph describing the websites characteristics and how the website
could be used as a resource:
While this website is more directed to professionals in the pork industry,
agriculture students could definitely use it to identify and learn facts about major
pig breeds. The main page I liked was the one listing the pork breeds and when you
clicked on the picture it gave a brief description. There is also a tab at the top of the
page titled Resources that has some information about the pork industry.
#3) Title of the Resource: National FFA Organization

This source can be used by teachers in an introductory agriculture classroom
setting as a guideline on teaching the FFA Creed. This site supplies the entire creed,
broken down into its main paragraphs and a brief history. With a login, which any
agriculture educator can get for their students, more history and details on the FFA
Creed is accessible. Students can use the source as a review or a reminder before a
test or quiz on the creed parts.
#4) Title of the Resource: The Facts About GMOs

Paragraph describing the websites characteristics and how the website
could be used as a resource:
This website explains the various environmental benefits and overall facts
about crop production using GMOs. An agriculture teacher could use this website as
a pre-reading activity, so students can formulate questions they have about the
issue to bring up in class. In addition, this site has various article links so students
and teachers can read what other people have to say about the subject and have
multiple sources to fall back on.

Paragraph describing the websites characteristics and how the website
could be used as a resource:
This website gives guidelines and definitions of terminology used in plant
propagation techniques. This page could be used as supplementary reading in the
classroom for an upper level plant science class. Students could get in groups and
become an expert in a specific portion of the article then teach their other group
members about that section. It would also be an excellent resource for a research
paper.
