This week, evaluating websites became the focal point of lesson activities. As I worked on my evaluation with my chosen website of National Geographic's Photography page, I aimed to comprehend what deemed a website worthy of classroom utility or not. In the end, I believe I was capable of determining if the website was dependable and beneficial for my classroom. This ability is utterly essential in the outcome of the lesson activity for my students because the reliability of the website can certainly affect how my students will perceive technology usage in the future. Sometimes, a puzzling experience with a website can prevent a student from visiting it again, even if it is a beneficial website for the his or her learning. In addition to providing advantageous or meaningful learning experiences for the students, it is also important to evaluate websites for appropriateness within the grade level as well as to make sure there is nothing inappropriate for a student to view on the website. Doing this will allow any teacher in the classroom to avoid conflict with parents or administration, which can be unpleasant if not taken seriously.
