Mount Rushmore Carving a Mountain - 0 views

  •  
    Hailey Dudley 10/15/12 Overview: This site had many important informational purposes for people who are trying to learn more about Mount Rushmore. The purpose of this site was to enlighten students on the history of Mount Rushmore through a series of interactive flashcards. This website was designed for children ranging from 3rd grade to 8th grade who want to further their knowledge of Mount Rushmore. The information on this site is really good; however there are no available resources to continue the informational search on Mount Rushmore. My impression of this site was that it included really strong information on the subject but there was really no way of furthering your learning once you were done with the flashcards. Content: The content on this site had both good and bad aspects about it. At first look, the website was very clear on who it was intended for, as well as what was to be expected to learn from the site. This site was very unclear on who the information providers were. It did not state an author or the sponsor of the site. The informational currency and ways to further information was very poor as well. There was no way to find the latest revision date and there was no links to other sites. However, the information quality of this site was excellent. It was very organized and the information was valid to the subject. Design: The design of this webpage was decent. The homepage was able to download with great speed and the home page was very appealing to the eye. However, there was no information of the sponsor or the copyright date. Because of this, the site had no available date of last revision. This site also had no way of furthering education of Mount Rushmore because there were no other links. What was really exceptional on this site was the ease of navigation and the content that was presented.

The purpose of this site was to inform people about the park and what you can do while visiting the monument. Audience for this site could range anywhere from children in 3rd grade to adults. There were many available resources to help learn more about Mount Rushmore. My overall impression of this site was that the site looked really good and it was easy to navigate through. Content: The content of this site was very outstanding. I was able to quickly identify what the site was about and I could easily see that the information was current and updated frequently. Furthermore, there was a plethora of good information, not only about the history of Mount Rushmore, but also about the park information as well. I was able to further my information on the monument by navigating the other links on the site. The only thing that the site didn't include was the information about the author and therefore, I could not tell if the writer was qualified or not. Design: The design of the site was remarkable. Everything from the speed of the homepage to the availability of furthering information was included in the website. I could easily navigate through the site and its look was very appealing. The site was very current and the content of the website was very informative and interesting. This site could not have gotten any better with their design.

    Hailey Dudley 10/15/12 Overview: This site was great for learning facts on Mount Rushmore by watching informational videos, and furthering learning about the faces carved on the rock. The intended audience for this site ranges from children in 3rd grade to 8th grade. There were also many available resources that would help continuing education on the subject. I was very impressed with this site because it offered great information, it was appealing, and I trusted the information presented. Content: The content on this site was very useful. The information quality and ways to further information was outstanding for this site. The information was valid on the subject and the links to other sites were worthwhile and contained very useful facts. However, the information currency was not the best for this particular website. There was no available revision date so there was no way of knowing if the information was updated regularly or of the latest revision date is applicable to the material. The site also did not have available authors of the material. Design: The design aspect of this website was exceptional. The speed of loading the home page was great and I was able to easily navigate throughout the site. This site was very appealing to the eye and the graphics on each page was useful and contributed to the learning that occurred here. There was great content on this site and there were also sites available to continue leaning. However, the date that the site was last revised was not easily seen and so I had no idea if the information was present.
