    Mark Hyde www.quizlet.com Overview: This site is for students to study on using on line flash cards that they can make or use some that is already on the site. It can be used for any subject and any age of student preparing for a test. Once you get sick of flashcards you can also put them words and phrases into game settings to have a little more enjoyable time studying. Content: The site has various styles of study guides based on flash card studying. A student can do anything from study math to bodyparts in already save flashcards. If wanting to study their own words they can create flashcards of their own. It also has different kind of activities to do including testing mode and game mode which allows you to find out where you are. Design: Simple design that is easy to use. It is not much of an attention getter, but students can see what they need to do and is straightforward on how to use it. The only problem that may occur is some of the flashcards that are saved on there may have wrong information.

    Quizlet is an online vocabulary tool designed to simplify vocabulary learning thru flashcards. It allows users to create and share flashcard sets with anyone on the web via facebook and twitter. Due to its simplicity and multidisciplinary capabilities, I definitely believe this site has a legitimate place in educational settings.

    Kelsey Merrick ITEC 2360 Sept. 1, 2010 Poor Website www.aplusmath.com Overview The purpose of this site is to help students with math. The intended audience is students K-12, however, the site looks very elementary. The site as a whole looks like a scam. It is very poorly made as far as the design goes. The content seems to be better because there are a lot of math help links attached to the site. Content The information Providers are not listed on the site. The website was last updated in April of 2010 so the information is fairly current. The links to the other sites do work. The purpose is clear: Informational. The content is complete and organized well for the most part. The information appears to be accurate and the spelling and grammar are correct. Design The design of this website is very poor. The homepage does not have strong eye appeal because the colors are dull and the heading is blurry. It is clear what site it is because of the title. The links look more like advertisements than navigational tools. The information is good because there are many math help links. The information is current.

    Meghan Snell September 11, 2011 Overview: The site has been updated since the last review. It was updated in May of 2011. It is an easy site to use abd helps students practice math and who need help with homework. It is not very appealing to the eye but does have some nice purposes to it. Content: The authors on this site are not listed but the sponsors are clear as day to see. They are given on the homepage with links as well. The website has been currently updated and seems to work efficiently. The cool part about this site is you can print out flash cards and worksheets and create your own as well. This would come in handy for teachers. There is a homework helper provided as well as games and already created flash cards and worksheets which is great for kids to use. Design: The design on the website is very poor and basic. None of it really attracts the eye and i believe would really fail at attracting younger students who are looking for graphics and fun pages. A teacher would be able to see past the poor design but that's not exactly good enough. Everything is well organized though, and easy to find.

    John Ripley 9/12/11 A Plus Math Overview: This is a decent site as far as content and design go, but it is not especially good. The audience is math students from first grade through eighth grade with most of the content focusing on arithmetic problems. While students might find this site entertaining and helpful, as a teacher I probably would not recommend it to parents for their children. Content: My biggest problem with the content of this site is that there is no author identified and the link for "sponsors" is simply a list of other math practice websites. While the content is accurate as far as I could tell, I think that having an identified author and reputable sponsors would make the site more reliable. This is why I say that I would not recommend this site as a teacher. Design: The design of the site is easy to follow and well organized. However, some of the links are slow and do not work properly. The content also has not been updated since May of this year. The site works, but it could be a lot more professional.

    Samantha Snethen- Feb. 5, 2012 Overview: This website is designed for students in grades k-12 to have extra resources and activities to help them with math. It provides online and printable flashcards, worksheets, games and even homework help for a variety of mathematical subjects. The site also provides links to other similar mathematical resource websites. Overall, the site had a handful of resources that could easily be used for extra practice with math. Content: In its entirety the site provided little content at all and there was no author listed and not way to contact the site's creator. It was easy to determine the purpose and subject of the site and was organized enough. There were some interactive games available to users and the information seemed to be accurate and consistent with the information of other similar sites. Design: The site was not very eye-catching, had little multimedia in use, and the format of the different pages was inconsistent. Again, there was not author or creator listed and no contact information was displayed so users are unable to ask questions. There was a clear last revision date that was fairly recent, so the content has been revised and kept up to date. It is easy to know what the purpose of the site is and was very easy to navigate.

    Chelsea Brunski 10-08-12 Overview The purpose of this site is to provide help to students with math. The website allows student or teachers to create worksheets. They also have an interactive game section and flashcards to help with math subjects. There is also a homework helper section. It is intended for students' k-12. There is a resource that is very helpful which breaks down the entire grade levels. My impression of this website is that it is an okay website but not the best. It has some very useful and neat components to it which I would use often. It doesn't look like much effort was put into making this site. Content This website says that it is intended for k-12 but there isn't ever different sections on this particular site that distinguishes that. The link that is provided is the only site that actually has different levels of content. I do think that the homework helper is a very useful tool for younger age kids. It can only help with basic math skills. If you need help with upper division math then this tool would not be useful to you. The worksheet section is one of the best things that this site has on it. This tool isn't just for students but can be used by teachers. It allows you to create your own worksheet dealing with different subjects in math. The only problem is that this is also for more basic level math. The game section is very small and limited. It only gives you games concerning addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This wouldn't be for any of the upper grades only for lower grades. Design The website doesn't draw you in at all. You have to read the homepage to really understand what the website is even about. It doesn't look like much effort was put into designing this website. There are different tabs on the left hand side that allow you to navigate the site. These are easy to navigate to. It looks like the website really just wants you to go to the other link that is provided. This link is much more

    Jessica Lee 10/21/2013 Overview: The purpose of this site is to help students (elementary and middle school aged) improve their math skills by offering flashcards, online games, a homework helper, and worksheets. However, the overuse of internal links within the introduction makes navigating through the website confusing and distracting. In addition, because it requires Java (which I don't have), it is useless and inoperable. The only decent thing about this website is that it provides an external link to Mathway.com - a website that answers basic math problems. Content: They have decent material as far as helping students improve their math skills; however, because the website is inoperable without the Java, the content is basically nonexistent. Their ideas include having the students work on flashcards, playing content-rich games, providing worksheets, and a basic homework helper that answers their problems. Design: The design of this website is so displeasing, that I knew that I would never use it after first glance. The color scheme is distracting and the layout is unorganized. Some positive points about this site, however, is that the table of contents on the side is useful and tells the viewer what to expect. In my opinion, they should have concealed the internal links in the introduction so that it does not take away from everything else. It's very choppy to the eye rather than being smooth and connected.

German Teaching - 0 views

  •  
    Sam Burns, 9/20/2009 The "German Teaching" page is a website full of links for all things related to German. From teaching help, to verb flashcards, and to advanced readings, the site has a lot of helpful information. I think it is more useful for beginning German learners but the site still has a lot of value. Content: This site is completely free and is actually just a site containing links to other sites. It contains hundreds of links to German sites for almost every problem a student, or teacher, might have. Links to German games, flashcards, and even some lesson plans are available through this site. The range of skill level activities provided on this site are also very broad, beginning to "advanced". I feel that the site is a lot more directed at lower level education but is still helpful. Design: The website is fairly easy to navigate but it is not professional looking at all. The layout looks cheap and unreliable. By looking at many of the links, I noticed that some of the information provided was unclear and may be more confusing that helpful to beginning students. However, some of the links are very helpful for specific problems someone might be having.

    Overall of Website This website is used to help kids study by using online flashcards, hangman, and a bug chase. The audience this website is intended for are children who need help studying. There are many different subjects that can be studied and tests that you can study for using the games. The site has a good purpose but everything seems really cluttered together and it would be annoying trying to find the subject you want to study for because the website is not organized very well. Content Summary At the first look of this site it was clear what you could do and what the site was used for. It clearly states who the authors are and where you can find more information about them. There is contact information so you can ask more questions that can be answered by the site authors. The information is all up to date as of 2011. But the information is not updated frequently only every year. The quality of the information is good for studying and can help you but it seems hard to get to and many different links can be confusing. The information on the site is up to date and accurate. Design Summary The website loads fast and the links are all pretty fast to load. The main page of the website is cluttered and not well organized and the table of contents is not organized well. The copyright date is there and noticeable at the bottom of the page. It is hard to move through out the website because it is poorly organized but once you find your subject of study it's easier to navigate through. The website has a good graphic material and has a clear purpose. As far as content presentation, the content is labeled clearly but not organized very well; overall the website is not well organized.

    Mitchell Sept. 5, 2011 Overview: Elementary Math Games is a website that has various games for math subjects. It has different activities for all grade levels and you can select the grade level you wish to play games for. It also contains worksheets that can be printed off for each grade. There are flashcards and puzzles as well. Content: There are games and worksheets for grades first through eighth. It contains 3-4 games per grade level and 3-4 worksheets for each grade as well. These worksheets are organized by grade and cover different topics. They are basic worksheets that can easily be printed off. Design: The design of this site is much simpler than the other site I found. It is less colorful but easy to navigate. The pages are organized by the grade levels. The problem is that before seeing the worksheet at all, you have to open it up. You cannot preview them at all. This site has problems with ads being in the middle of the screen again and this distracts from the stuff that is actually found on the website.
