Features Set:  

Grade levels are divided into Elementary, Middle and High School. Each level has links to subjects that include math, science, English, social studies and art. These links lead students to articles, lessons, quizzes and games that are appropriate for their level of study. There are also helpful links on technology such as computer science and preparing for college.

Parents and teachers will also benefit from this site. Parents can find articles and advice on helping their kids with homework, school comparisons, preparing their kids for college and safety tips for surfing the Internet. Teachers can connect to resources for lesson plans, information on special education and organizations dedicated to improving education.

Ease of Use:  

HomeworkSpot.com is easy to navigate. The three main learning levels, Elementary, Middle and High School, have their own homepage called Homeroom. From there, students can click on a main subject area, and then search for specific sub–categories. For example, information on U.S. history is found under social studies and algebra is found under math. No matter how many links and web pages a student searches through, a permanent navigating window is available to get them back to where they started.

Ease of Installation/Setup:  

Because this is a free service site, students don’t have to enter passwords or download software; although, a high–speed Internet connection is less tedious than dialup.

Help/Support:  

This is a free resource website; what you see is what you get. There is no contact information for help or support. If you really need to reach someone, you can contact StartSpot Mediaworks’ advertising section through email or by phone.

HomeworkSpot.com is a large homework help website that covers math, science, English, social studies and art for elementary, middle and high school kids. A permanent navigation window makes it easy to conduct detailed searches, but since this is a free website, help and support is not available.
