Evaluating Webpages
After looking over the resources provided in 'External Links', I found one page that stuck out above all the others. This was probably the most comprehensive of all the website evaluations that I have seen. I think it is all-encompassing and it would be easy to make a rubric or score sheet for the evaluated website from the guide provided.
Another link that I found useful is this one. It provides teachers with guides for their students to evaluate websites. There is even a .pdf document that you can print out for all the 'digital investigators' in your class.
I think it's important to evaluate websites, not only for content, but also for clarity, ease of use, and reliability of information. One of my biggest pet peeves with computers is a badly designed website, including clashing text, text that's too bright and makes my eyes hurt, HUGE text. I think that website design should be included in curricula, and one of the components of this class should be website evaluation.
That's all.
