Reflection on Evaluating Websites
The website I evaluated was apples4theteacher.
This was a very interesting and informative activity. I can't even begin to discuss how many sites I have used in researching in which I didn't consider the accuracy of the site.
This site is useful for some educational purposes. The games are education and could be used by students if they choose to use the computer as their free-time activity. I wouldn’t necessarily use this site as a teaching tool, but possibly for worksheets and other educational printouts the site offers. The site would also be useful for certain geography lessons because it provides interactive lessons. These lessons include an electronic talking book with very educational pictures and maps. The site wouldn’t be useful for parents because the site only offers articles for parents. If I use a site in my classroom, I would like to be able to share that with parents. Since there is no verifiable information on the site, such as biographical information about the author, I cannot be sure that all the information on the site is accurate, an important characteristic teachers need before teaching a topic or subject.
