I evaluated the website Arcademic Skill Builders. It was a difficult process for me because I could not find information about the author(s) or publisher of the site. It was frustrating when I continued to try to use the "contact us" link on the site, but was unable to email them. The application on my computer would not open so I could not find an email address or anything. I did, however, enjoy looking deeper into the website to see what I could find and putting more thought into the site than I normally would.
Website evaluations will be helpful in my profession because I will be able to make sure that the sites I use or send students/parents to are practical, usable, and reliable. I think that this is very important, especially when working with children that are not old enough to figure out whether or not a website is reliable on their own.
Next time, I will try to use websites that make it easier to find out publishing and author information because that is important in deciding whether or not the site is reliable and up to date.
