Melanie Lenhardt ITEC 2360 2/2/2012 The World's Leading Website on Learning Disabilities and ADHD The purpose of this site is to give information to a variety of different people on learning disabilities and ADHD. It has a section for educators, a section for parents, and a section for kids. It is aimed towards all different people who may need resources on dyslexia for example, or many other disabilities. It also talks about the basics of these disabilities and how to get help from experts and so much more. Overall, I thought this site was very informative and the design of it was good. Content: The content of this website wasn't bad at all, but could use a little critiquing. The main thing that I noticed was the purpose of the site wasn't completely clear. The title didn't really explain much of what you would find on the site. You have to read more into the site in order to tell what the purpose was. It also doesn't have a last revised section anywhere. We don't know how recent the website was updated. Design: The design of this website was also good, but could use a little more color. The first page was eye catching, but the rest of the site is mostly white. Also, it doesn't talk about directions to the site which could be useful for some. Although, the site is very easy to maneuver through.

Melanie Lenhardt ITEC 2360 2/2/2012 Easter Seals and Autism The purpose of this site is to help people of all ages with Autism. It has many different services that they provide to the people and their families. I would say that this site is aimed at the families that have someone with Autism very close to them. The site has a link to donating and it also has information on it about Autism and how to deal with it. It is a business that I'm sure makes money off of it, but it also helps these children that need it. Overall, the website is very informative and good for different people that need to know about Autism. Content: The content of this site was very good overall, but could use a few changes to make it better. This site does not have information on the authors of the site or who created it, they just have the publisher. We don't really know where the information is coming from specifically. It also does not have the last revised date on it. Design: The design of this site is also very well put together but could use a few changes. There are no directions on how to navigate through the site for those that may not know how. There are many links on where to get information, but is not completely clear. There are also no audio files or videos that saw which could also be very informative to include on their site.

Melanie Lenhardt ITEC 2360 2/2/2012 Publications and More The purpose of this site is to teach people about special education and the things that go along with it. It has all of the basic information that you need to know about dealing with it as a parent or someone in their life and useful intervention strategies. This site also has different links to satisfy a variety of needs. I would say the intended audience is parents, but is also informative for anyone. I think that overall, this website is very well designed, easy to use, and very useful for my information needs. Content: I would say that most of this website was very well put together, but there were a few things that they could do to make the site a little better. The site didn't really have a specific author/authours to the site that was clearly identified. We don't really know who they are or any information on them, but we do know how to contact the people about the site. Design: The design of this site is also very well, but could also use a little changes to make it better. I didn't find any directions on how to navigate the site. It seemed self-explanatory though, so I'm not sure that it is necessary to have one or not. I also think that the website could use more videos and images to present information on special education and the things that go along with it. There is not a last revised portion that I saw on the website, the only thing I saw was the copyright date. Last revised is important, and could definitely use that on the site.
