If we are teaching our students to cite sources vs. "copy and paste," shouldn't every famous person at least have a website listed?

Henry Ford is a good one. We certainly live in a mass-produced society (for better or worse!).

I really like you choices of Walt Disney and FDR. Also Martin Cooper was an interesting choice. I did not know he invented the cell phone but it's amazing how commonplace the cell phone has become.

I like having Disney on there but where is the extra info on him. The choices are very good. I also like the different categories.

We need to add pictures for each person. Graphics allow connections to take place. Brain research shows that students learn better when connections are made.

I liked how you categorized the people,but Walt Disney's info has no citation for it. We thought about Walt Disney, but chose others instead. I didn't know the inventor of the cell phone.

I liked how you added a quote for Disney. It gives a more personal look in to the name.
