I was not really impressed with this website as far as the resources provided. It would simply give you a website to go to and then once you got to that website, it would send you to another website, and then it just seems like you would keep going in circles and never find a beneficial website with useful information. It was difficult to navigate.

I think this website does provide a lot of information about various topics, however, it does not provide any interactive activities or games. It all involves reading information from different webpages. Students often get bored from reading information online and it is important that there are interactive components in educational websites.

Although this website has a few good resources, I think overall it is not a very helpful website for teachers. When clicking on web resources, powerpoints, educational videos, etc. it often simply sends you to "Google Ads" and provides no information that is helpful. I feel as though it could be organized in a more efficient way where it provides you with direct links to educational videos and/or websites/lessons.

Although this website has a lot of good information on it at times, it can not be depended on to provide accurate information to teachers or students. Since anyone can post information on this website, it is not reliable for students or teachers to use in the classroom for important projects or lessons.

I dislike this website because students feel as though they can use this instead of reading the book that is required of them. A lot of times, it even gives false or inaccurate information about the book being searched or read. It only provides students with overviews and chapter summaries and takes away from the details that they could be reading in the actual book.

This website has several different resources that are helpful to teachers. It provides many different lesson plans and ideas. Also, it gives teachers a chance to search for lesson plans according to what topic they need to teach. It also provides classroom project ideas and examples of how to implement these in the classroom. There are additional features on this website such as chat boards, job searches, etc. I do not like the fact that it is hard to navigate and distinguish where the "home" button is located.
