I have a project in school, and i know what the time, apperance, and phase of the moon is since november 11, but i need to know the DIRECTION of the moon at certain times from then to now. I'd like to know about a website that i can type in the time and it will tell me the direction! Thanks!

Here's one that gives the azimuth (=direction) of moonrise and moonset:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/aboutmoonrise.html

Click on "moon calculator", select a city, and set the "show" block to "rise/set time/azimuth".

In case you're not familiar with azimuth, it describes the horizon as a 360 degree circle:
0 = north
90 = east
180 = south
270 = west
These are true directions; they differ from compass directions because of magnetic declination.

You can use the first source to show the whole sky at any time from any place on Earth. There will be a table at the bottom of the map page that shows the direction to the Moon.

The second source will give you the phase and rising and setting time from any place on any day.
