http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~stefan/mauer/index.html: This is a site written by a 16 year old German high school student, who expresses his opinions about the fall of the Berlin Wall and also about life in Germany before and after reunification. This is a great site which students would be able to relate to. They see this historic event through the eyes of someone their own age. There are some great pictures which he provides, and also give explanations about. This is not the ideal site for a detailed historic lesson, but rather to have students understand how these events affect real people their own age.
http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~chrisx/index.html: This page is written by an individual living in Germany, who provides information specifically for students and teachers. He encourages using his site for educational projects. There are some images of the Berlin Wall, an essay, as well as links to a Berlin server with many sites of interest. The links provide general information about the city of Berlin, although many are written in German. There is a lot of browsing to do within this page and stemming from it, and would be a good starting point for students to be able to research their own projects and see what they could find.
http://mufasa.mit.edu/brc/bigdig/Berlin.html: This page is written with the intention of teaching students about the Berlin Wall, and its role in history during the Cold War. It is a project page which is supported by the Patch American High School in Stuttgart which is developing a web site in order to exhibit student work related to the Cold War era. The project is open to schools internationally, and this type of project would be of interest to history / social studies teachers who want their students to learn more about the Cold War, the Berlin Wall, and what other students around the world fell about this topic. Comments are encouraged from users of this page.
http://www.bundesregierung.de/.bin/lay/ausland/system/chronicle.html: This site is a chronology of the events which led up to the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the events which followed it. It is written very clearly, and there are several good pictures which accompany the text. There is a great link to a site which contains facts about Germany.
http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/BIW/wall.html: This site, written by Dr. Burkhard Kirste details the background, construction, measurements, and fall of the Berlin Wall. This concise essay is written in both English and German.
http://www.footage.net/OnDemand/cablenews/wall.html: This site is supported by the CNN Image Source. It is a downloadable clip (861 KB) which shows real-life action of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This may be easier that obtaining film or video footage of similar material. This footage takes off where pictures and text leaves off. If students can see in motion what they are reading about, they will be able to relate more to the material .

Both of these sites are not related to the topic. They make references to a popular rock group, and have no value as a teaching aid for the subject matter.
http://www.dahman.com/dollman/thewall.htm: This site, although references the Berlin Wall is nothing more than an advertisement selling chunks of the wall.
http://www.rs-renningen.bb.bw.schule.de/bhome.html: This site would be effective in a setting where the native language was German. There are some interesting pictures, but the text is written in German
http://www.cit.usfca.edu/lti/berlin.html: This site is a German language teaching aide, which brings perspectives of the lives of people living in Berlin in order to teach German. It seems to be a very good language education site, but in the context of teaching history, it would be ineffective.
http://www.hcc.hawaii.edu/hccinfo/hccmap/bldgs/berlin/berlin.html: This site contains information about Honolulu Community College, who is one of three places in the world which has a large section of the Berlin Wall on display (named "The Freedom Monument"). The site only details this section of the wall, and does not have enough valuable information in order to be effective in the classroom.
