WEBSITE CATEGORY
In designing the entry, you should include elements that actively engage the audience in learning about the topic. These elements do not have to be technologically complex, but they should let the audience participate in exploring the topic, rather than passively viewing information. The presentation must include primary materials that are multimedia sources.

The website category is the most interactive of all NHD categories, Therefore, a website should reflect your ability to use website design software (NHD Weebly) and computer technology to communicate the topic’s significance in history.
