GUIDELINES

Use the criteria that we developed in class to evaluate Web sites on a topic of interest to you. Please note that the topic you choose should be a topic that is taught at the grade level in which you teach.

Select six web sites that meet the evaluation criteria. Two of the selected web sites should provide content on the topic that you selected. One web site should have activities for students. One web site should allow your students to send questions and get answers. Select the fifth and sixth web sites using your professional judgment (make sure that these sites also meet the web site evaluation criteria that we developed in class).

Write a paper (1000 words or less) providing an overview of each web site (that’s about 166 words per web site). A sample paper will be provided in class for your reference.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
