The entry on Troy describes one of the most fascinating episodes in the unclearly defined border line between legend and reality. For many years Homer’s Iliad was seen as a nice story of Greek gods and heros, but nothing that bore any resemblance with reality. In the 19th century achaeologists started trying to find out if there was really any discernible background to the legend. Especially Heinrich Schliemann was one of the best known characters to work on this topic, although Frank Calvert was the first one to research the legend’s location and excavated small parts of level VI of ancient Troy, thus starting to prove that there was a real background.
The photos show a lot of information that the researchers saw on their way in proving the real existence of Troy.
The user gets information on the legend and the archaeology of Troy, a virtual walk into Troy, a Teacher’s section with a lot of links and activies, an interactive Quiz and information about the team.
The entry can be used in English as well as in German.

In an age of sweeping revolution and change, the heart of a continent torn by hysteria and madness ventured out of the darkness of the city to return to the wilds of nature. Individuality, nature, and emotion dominated the minds of restless individuals weary of logic, reason, science, and industry. The spirit of an era awoke, fueled with passion and rebellion, and quickly spread to all aspects of culture to unveil everything contrary to the Enlightenment-- the disturbing, the supernatural, the beautiful, and the wild. Romanticism, intense and rebellious, overthrew all conventions; convention had never been defied in such a manner before, nor would it ever be restored again. This website specifies how far Romanticism pervaded culture and continent; it shows how lasting works of Romantic art, literature, and music representative of the great era are only variations on a theme. Through an online magazine, users can voice their own Romantic opinions and create their own Romantic work. Through a series of informative articles, quizzes, and discussion topics, users can better familiarize themselves and identify with the ground-breaking movement that has led to the way society is today.

Librarians everywhere wish there was something interesting for kids about the Dewey Decimal system. We hope this will be their answer.This is a website created to teach kids about the Dewey Decimal System. There are several levels, so it could be used with different age groups. For example, the "Alien" story and the "Pre-Dew Review" sections could be used with earlier elementary levels. They would be a good review for middle grades, and they could also learn a lot from the "Let's Dew It" section. For those students who are ready for more challenging information, there is "Let's Dew it Again". The Book Topics and Websites pages should help kids get a better idea of the kinds of topics in each Dewey category. The test and puzzles will help them remember what they've learned.

Our entry's purpose is to debate the disputed problem of Dracula's myth. Was he really a vampire? Actually, we tell you our opinion in this matter. We think that the myth of Dracula was created by certain writers that neglected the fact that they may destroy the glory of the brave Romanian ruler, Vlad the Impaler, and we try, as much as we can, to reestablish this glory. On the other hand, we invite you to communicate us your opinion about this subject, via Internet, sending messages on our e-mail addresses, which you can find in the "About Us" section of the entry. We have also written a chapter concerning the creation and the development of this myth, from the source (the life and the reign of Vlad the Impaler), passing through literature (analyzing books like the novel "Dracula by Bram Stoker") and finishing with the movies we see today at the cinema. Besides this information, you can learn many more things. You can find out how Europe was in the XV-th century. You can also find out aspects from the history of some famous places, like Bran Castle and you can discover were Vlad the Impaler was buried. You can also relax with some little games that we have put on our entry and you can check the knowledge you gained by completing a quiz.

Debate Deconstructed will delve into the very word "debate". By examining the various mechanics and functions of formal debating, we shall present competitive debating laid bare and attempt to show how it is closely linked to our daily mundane lives.
We will bring people away from the conventional perspective of debating: that of an isolated and non-relative competition. By being people-oriented, we shall show how debating is closely linked to man himself in several ways.
We shall also show how the numerous experiences that one goes through and backgrounds one comes from affects how one debates, formally or not. Race, religion and culture all play a part in one's debating style, as shall be shown.
As an introduction, Debate Deconstructed also features a primer on debating, and the various aspects and skills of formal, competitive debating for those who require such resources. To complete this holistic picture, the site will show how debating is closely intertwined with our daily lives, presenting debating in yet another different light.
The primer is not only geared towards beginners, but for those who want to hone their skills in competition. For these people, there will be a focus on persuasive speaking and to be more persuasive and more poised towards pushing your ideas and proposals using effective and efficient methods.
There is also ample space for vocal ones to voice their views and positions about various issues pertaining to the subject. Indeed, learning is a collective process, and all the more pertinent to debating.
