First Week of Internet Learning Resources
So far, I've really enjoyed the first week of this new class. I always love taking a class that will have things I can walk into my classroom and use tomorrow, and I feel this will be one of those classes. I found a lot of good websites that have very user-friendly lists of resources I can use with my third graders. I'm also enjoying creating an Internet Web Resource Site Evaluation Form for my students. We found and used a Software Evaluation Form in the CEdO 515 class we took a few weeks ago. However, I feel the Site Evaluation form for my kids will be even more useful. For my third graders, being as young as they are, they tend to believe everything they read on the internet. I will definitely use the Site Evaluation on a weekly basis in my class to help my students decipher between useful, credible sites, and sites they should not use.

Andi, I'm really glad that the assignment of having to create a site evaluation form appropriate to your kids will be useful to you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it would be a good idea to share the forms that we create. That way I can use your form, Andi, to evaluate (or have my students evaluate) websites geared toward lower elementary. I guess when I think of evaluating websites, I have to think outside the box and include younger students as well as the older ones.
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent idea, Denise! I think we should definitely share!
