=Website Evaluation=

The assignment that I created was a website evaluation. We had to pick a website that we would consider to use in our classrooms and break it down based on a number of criterion, such as, accessibility, age appropriateness, and security. We had to give our opinions on any reasons why we thought this was a good or bad website to use within the classroom. Although I know how to get to a website and look at it's content it made me think about what makes a good website and one that is worth signing out a lab or using within the classroom. Basically, is this piece of technology worth using or could I find something else to drive home my point? The assignment prepared me to teach with technology because it made me think about what do I need to look for in a website when considering using it for a lesson. There are tons of websites that you can use, however this made me realize that just because it was technology it wasn't necessarily good or appropriate to use in the classroom. I would use this lesson in my classroom, not as a lesson per se but as a tool for myself to become more aware of the different aspects that make websites positives or negative additions to the classroom environment.
