In my future career of teaching, I envision myself being heavily immersed in technology and applying that knowledge of technology to my classroom. Lesson plans are more precise and present the lesson plans more clearly and organized when created on a word processor, like the podcast states. Technology is only beneficial towards a classroom and helps advance the classroom for both the teacher, students, and even the parents/guardians of the students whether its planning lessons, grade student work, and communicating with students and parents.
After completing the Wiki assignment, I learned specific skills on how to really judge a website. I never looked into judging a website nor did I think evaluating a website was worth much. But after the assignment I realized how critical it is to evaluate the website for yourself. Learning how to evaluate websites is a necessary skill I need to learn for my future career, I can't just use sources for my students that I have not checked or looked into yet as it can be a very dangerous game.
Like you, I had never done a formal website evaluation. I agree that it will be important for us, as teachers, to emphasize reference evaluations and to teach our students the same skills.

ReplyDeleteI like the format of your Web Evaluation form. Specifically, the subheadings are specific enough to make it clear what you are looking for in a website.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used your high school site!!
