Website+Evaluation

//Before class on May 10, please complete the following://
 * Directions:** Select a site to evaluate. Please individually evaluate the site and decide whether your site is real or fake. On your ePortfolio page, share what criteria you used to evaluate the site. For example, did you use the look of the site to help you? (This portion of the activity should take no more than 10 minutes.)


 * Group A:** [| RYT Hospital]


 * Group B:** [|Tree Octopus]


 * Group C**: [|Dihydrogen Monoxide]


 * Group D:** [|Guinea Worm Foundations]


 * Group E**: [|Mankato, MN Home Page]

When finished, revisit the link that you posted on diigo for either your Multimedia, Games or Web idea for the past few weeks. Use this tool to evaluate this site from a teacher's perspective. Then, print your evaluation and bring it to class next week.


 * Kathy Schrock also has a full list of website evaluation tools for students here.
 * On a side note, google's advanced search and its advanced image search are good things to know about. On the advanced search, you can search for websites by reading level and on the advanced image search, you can search for images that owners have released for use by anyone. And a word on wikipedia, which according to a study in Nature, has a similar number of mistakes compared to other major encyclopedias... "2.92 mistakes per article for Britannica and 3.86 for Wikipedia."
