Chelsey+Buchholz's+Web+Evaluation


 * __First Web Evaluation__ **
 * __Title__: America's Story from America's Library**
 * __Site URL__:** [|**http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/page.cgi/es?section=es&subject=mi&x=24&y=13**]

__**Comments:**__ The website, America's story from America's Library, supports teaching and learning because it holds vaulable information on the history of Michigan. This information will allow children to learn about Michigan and use the knowledge to complete a writing assignment about the state. The limitation of the site is it does not have a lot of information about the state of Michigan. I would use this site in my classroom as a teaching tool. Students could visit the site, gather information about Michigan, and write a short paragraph on their learning of Michigan from the website. //I can see how this website would be helpful as sort of a starting point for students to begin to gather information about the state of Michigan. I like that it provided different links to other important information. However that actual provided information for this site was limited.(KV)// This Website is very good for the elementary level Students; it gives them easy to read information. The site does not give a lot of information for the Upper level students. I understand how this site can be useful for younger students. (DD)

__**First and Second Web Evaluation Rubric : **__ Title: Dino Database Site URL__**: [] //I like this site more than the Michigan website. This site provides a lot of useful information about a lot of different dinosaurs. Besides the different advertisements, that aren't actually that big, I really liked the time lines, map of where the dinosaurs lived, size charts, as well as fact charts. It provides the information in an easy to read and organized manner. I would use this in my classroom for children to learn about specified dinosaurs.(KV)// The Dino Database is an excellent website for young students to explore and learn about all sorts of Dinosaurs. This Website has a lot of interesting information that will keep students busy for a long time with the many timelines and maps that show where the different Dinosaurs once existed. This site is also very easy to navigate throughout and find the different information.(DD)
 * __ Second Web Evaluation
 * __Comments:__** The website, Dino Database, supports teaching and learning because students can click on different dinosaur names and learn many facts about the particular dinosaur! The limitation of the site is it has a couple advertising screens and this could distract students learning. I would use this site in my classroom as a teaching tool. Students would be assigned to visit the site, choose a dinosaur of choice, and write two quality paragraphs on the information the student collected. Overall, it is a fun site for learning!
