This game allows students to place garbage in the appropriate trash can for recycling.

Overview: This website is somewhat boring, though there is a lot of good information the site just doesn't keep a reader interested. It is a lot of paragraph like information that I don't think student will enjoy learning from. On the other side there is good information, and many different types of things to do. Design: The design is very traditional, and though they have colors, they are very dull and do not catch the readers attention. There are so many links that it is hard to get around the site and even go back to the homepage. Content: There is a lot of good content on the website and has many different things to do. There is color pages, games and information about our space system!

Webquest Website

Overview: The purpose of this site is to help teacher and students. There is a lot of resources that can be used in this website. If I was a teacher I may use this website as a reward when a student got his or her work done early. I might also use this as an aid in teaching a subject. The content in this website may inspire children to learn more about a certain subject, but I would not use this as a sole teaching tool. Content: In This website there is useful information. If a teacher is stuck on a subject this website can direct the teacher to a helpful website about the certain subject. There is a section called Kid-Info that is designed to help a student with a subject. There are also suggested sites for videos, power-points and lesson plans. Design: The design of this website could be better. The contrast of the colors just doesn't seem very engaging or useful. The website looks dull and boring. However the information in this website is good, the design is lacking. Someone could update it and I feel it would help the legitimacy of the website.

The purpose of the site was to gather information about running. The intended audience was ones interested in running. The only thing that attracted me was the title. After that everything else was not "cool." The content format was scattered. You had to bounce around looking for information. Overabundance of content topics requiring a fee. Way too much advertisement. The websit was crammed. Too much of nothing.

One of the most famous paintings by Edgar Hilaire Germain Degas [French, 1834-1917. It captures dancing, a contemporary art, and exhibits dancers so vividly as if she is actually dancing. Edgar Degas began an increasing number of paintings on different poses of ballet dancers. And they were an immediate success.

Nice summary and resources for Hamlet.

This site has a lot of future activities to do with kids in the classroom or at home.

Nathan Wonnacott 9/9/11 Overview: The Smithsonian Institution web page is a way to allow people to access the galleries without visiting the museum and provides insightful ways to teach students as well. The target audience is parents, teachers, and even students. Some of its topics are history, science, art, and technology. I believe this site to be a very useful tool in educating. Content: The first impression of the Smithsonian webpage is a sense of variety. There are pictures of exhibits and links to others not depicted. It doesn't appear childish, but more for anyone interested in American history. Once I explored, I found that the links work successfully and are full of up to date information. The website does leave out links to other sites, which limits resources to the site alone. It also doesn't specify an author, leaving only the sponsor to be contacted. Design: The setup is both fast and easy with organized pull-down menus. The pictures and references to their exhibit are detailed, useful, and attention grabbing. Activities are also available, and help to locate new information. The pages are current, last revised on July 6, 2011. The site is effective and worth visiting.

Overview: Notes in Spanish is a great teaching tool so that students can listen to a variety of topics in Spanish at home or in school. There are different levels of podcasts ranging from beginner to advanced with many podcasts in each level. There are also packets available to purchase that help to comprehend and test your knowledge on the podcasts. Content: The content of Notes in Spanish is relevant to Spanish listening comprehension. The content is presented in a profession yet fun manner. The authors contact and background information is readily available. Both authors are qualified to present the podcasts because of their background with Spanish and fluency level. The site does not present the date last revised but new podcasts are added often. There are not any external links presented in the site but the site does provide sufficient information. Design: The design of Notes in Spanish is attractive and simple. The tool bar on the top of the screen makes for easy navigation. The site is simple and there are not too many links; there are no external links present. The use of multimedia makes a significant contribution to the site because the main information on the site is in the form of podcasts. The site is simple in its design but is effective in delivering quality information.

Adam Matson ITEC 2360 9-14-2011 Website Evaluation: Overview: http://writingcenter.gmu.edu/writing-resources is almost exactly the same as others I've found that are meant to be as a language arts resource. This one however, is a bit more basic and harder to navigate. It includes things like brainstorming ideas and some writing style directions, but does not go as in-depth or give as many examples as other sites visited. For a quick referencing tool I would suggest bookmarking the site, but there are other sites that may be more helpful. Content- The content I found can be useful, such as a printable handout showing various ways to incorporate transitions into your writing, but the overall content seems somewhat lacking. It just does not cover as many areas and subjects of language arts that many other sites do. Again, it could be used as a quick referencing guide when a student needs help. Design- The design is almost exactly like the sites explored earlier, a white background with black and blue text and links. It is somewhat hard to navigate due to wording and the placing of some of the tabs and links. Locations and members of the actual school seem more prominent in the navigation than actual links to language arts resources, which could prove to be frustrating.
