Great Teaching Resource

For our "Evaluating Websites for Reliability and Usability" I picked Read Write Think and found it incredibly helpful and easy to use. It is a resource for mainly teachers but also caters to both students and parents. It offers sample lesson plans with supplement material and worksheets, along with printable graphic designers to enhance the note taking process, and it also provides creative ways to present different subjects to children. I will definitely use this website when I teach and see how it will be helpful in any grade I could teach.

After evaluating this website I was even more impressed with it. I discovered that its' information was both cited and reputable along with being grammatically correct. Read Write Think is also very easy to navigate and has graphics that enhance its' material. As a whole, I was very satisfied with the website and felt that it was trustworthy and user friendly. Also, this project taught me a great deal about website evaluation and made realize the importance of it. After researching if the website was reliable or not it made me think about important it is for it to be reliable if i was going to use it to teach. This project also taught me how to guide my own students through this process one day. It think this project is very applicable to everyday life, because as a student I am looking at website on a daily basis and need to decide if they are credited websites.
