 * Title:** ** Education World, The Educators Best Friend

URL: []

Comments: This site seems like it would be extremely useful. There is lots of color and tons of things and ideas on this site. There are boxes with lots of helpful ideas and links with titles such as Lesson Planning, Professional Development, Administrators Desk, Technology Integration, School Issues, Education World at Home, Lifestyle/Marketplace, Early Childhood, and Schoolnotes.com. Those boxes are filled with things such as hands on activities which could be used in the classroom, ideas for A.M. announcements, health habits etc. The site seems to be rather crowded though, I would say that’s its only downfall, but at the bottom of the page there is a little mini site guide that is just filled with links under all of the categories that are listed above, just extra ones that seem like they would be very helpful. It seems like it would be a very useful site, its just the fact that its kind of crowded that might make it a little difficult to navigate around.

This site looks very useful. There are many different things that can open different ideas to both teahers and students. It seems like a great website for activities, if there could be a free hour or so. I would agree that the website seemed very crowded, if it was more spaced out and not all bunched together, I think the website would really stand out. - CD

Title:** Reading Online


 * URL: []**


 * Comments:** This site seems like it would be a good site for teachers to use, especially when teaching students about Internet use. The internet is used so frequently in classes these days, and there are so many rules they need to follow and abide to when using the internet, its great to have a site like this that can guide them through what precautions and such they need to take when using the internet. It encourages learning about all these things so we can all use the Internet in the correct way. The only downfall to this site is its kind of lengthy and could be discouraging when students see how long it is to actually go through and read the whole thing. It could maybe be broken up or grouped different so it doesn’t look so intense. Other than that this seems like a great site and would be a very useful teaching tool in the classroom.


 * I agree that this site is very useful for when it comes to educating students about the uses of the internet and the ways to access its resources and information correctly. With technology having such a large role in education, it's important to be able to show student's how to access all of the resources the internet can provide, and how to avoid misinterpreting information and stumbling upon sites with fraudulent information. I also agree, however, that one of the downfalls of the site is the way the information is presented. With the small and large amount of text, minimal use of graphics and eye-catching material, it could turn students off to the site or bore them before they can really process the information. -LT**
