      Nathan Wonnacott 9/9/11 Overview: The Smithsonian Institution web page is a great way to not only allow people, say in Wyoming, to access the galleries on the other side of the US, but also provides insightful ways to teach students as well. This website's audience is target to parents, teachers, and even students alike. It covers many topics, ranging from history, science, art, and technology. I believe this site to be a very useful tool in educating. Content: At the first glimpse of the Smithsonian webpage, one gets a sense of variety. There are pictures of various exhibits and links are provided to many others not depicted. It does not appear strictly childish, but rather, for all those interested in America and its past experiences. Once I explored the site, I found that not only do all the links work successfully, but that they lead down a path of well-informed knowledge. The information on this site in not just simple facts, but up to date insight to the topics presented. However, the website does leave out links to other sites, which limits one's available resources to just the site alone. It also leaves out the author, leaving only the sponsor to be recognized and contacted. Design: The setup is both fast and easy to navigate, with organized pull-down menus right from the start. The pictures and references to their exhibit are detailed, useful, and attention grabbing. Activities and games are also available, and help to locate and find new information. The pages are relatively current, last revised on July 6, 2011. Available on multiple browsers, the site is effective and worth visiting.

    This is a great website for any art teacher K-12. Content: This website provides art teachers of any grade level with lesson plans to use in their classrooms. This website will be particularly handy for begging art teachers. It is easy to navigate the site, lessons for everything from drawing to painting to 3D is provided in detailed lesson plans by clicking on the subject. The lessons are step by step and are great for beginnig artists. This website is nice for teachers that need ideas on how to present the information to their students.

    Nathan Wonnacott 9/9/11 Overview: The Creative Spotlight is a site providing tutorials to new artists and supplies to continuing artist. It is clear that the site is more commercial than educational. It's a basic site with links to areas such as drawing, painting, and graphic design. Content: It is obvious that this site is directed toward art; however it doesn't provide helpful information. The tutorials focus on very limited instruction, followed by pictures to assist in "learning". The creator of the site only refers to himself by first name, which is an indicator that it's not a trustworthy source. Also, the copyright regulations are harsh, discouraging copying of any kind. I would not suggest this site for these reasons. Design: The design of this site is extremely basic, and links are slow to other sites. The format is cluttered and lacks revision. By the time one navigate through the site, he or she is probably disappointed by what they find.

    Content- This site would be very helpful in finding different lesson plans, and tools needed for Ag teachers. This site is very easily navigated, and the intended audience is very obvious. This site has many authors, but gives main credit to the Georgia Agriculture Curriculum. There are many links to other sites, and they all seem to be working properly. There are many different links to lesson plans that would be very helpful for a teacher. This site is very well organized, and has many different helpful elements. This seems to be a very worthwhile site with very great information. Design- This is a very "busy" site, but has so much great information that the amount of activity is very helpful. All of the graphics are very helpful, and add to the content of the site. This site has a great amount of information, and is very well worth the visit. All information is easy to find, and would bring many new ideas to a teachers classroom. Attribution- It is easy to contact the administrator of this page, and the copyright name and date is on the bottom of the site.
