One of the most important aspects of Website Browsing is being able to discern which sites are the most effective and efficient. In order to determine this, we must put pay attention to details and call ourselves Website Evaluators. The most important part of being a Website Evaluator is knowing what sets the website apart and what makes it accredited. Today, I looked at the site by Glencoe/ Mcgraw-Hill with the URL http://www.glencoe.com/sec/teachingtoday/tiparchive.phtml/4. The website is aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. Although I was worried about it possibly promoting its products, I was pleased to find that there were no advertisements, just contributions by various people within the Academic Field. The contributors were from a wide-variety of positions within education, all accredited.
I learned different tools for classroom management, as well as numerous ideas for Virtual Field trips. I also enjoyed and took confidence in the fact that the website is frequently changing. As the viewer, you are able to access posts from last week, last month, or today. Most importantly, though, in order to be an informed Website Evaluator, I need to continue to evaluate other websites to draw informed conclusions about which sites I should use for my classroom.
