Reflection on Evaluating Website

I think this activity helped me to learn more about a website. I really thought about the five criteria for evaluating websites and that they should have accuracy, authority, currency, objectivity, and coverage. I looked at the website www.starfall.com. I have used the website myself and have also talked with teacher who use the website to help with their activities/lesson plans. I have even been in classrooms where I have seen students on the computer at this websites doing an interactive books and games. So that is why I chose to evaluate this website. The activity helped to assist me in meeting the learning objectives associated with the evaluation of websites to use in my classroom because it allowed me to look at the website piece by piece, part by part, and really understand the website. I had only accessed the website prior to gain information, knowledge, or help with activities that I did with my private Pre-k class so it was interesting to see the criteria that it met and what it didn't. It was interesting to learn new things about the website because there were places that I had never accessed and also to see a new website that they have made called more.starfall.com. It's a new website that offers even more resources to teacher and parents to use. So by doing this evaluation I was able to learn even more about the website and now as an intern in Kindergarten, I have the opportunity to visit this site and do even more!!
