This activity greatly helped me in learning how to evaluate websites that I may use in my classroom. When looking at Cool Math, I was able to navigate through the site and determine if it was a website that I could use in my classroom. I am glad that I was able to do an activity like this because I used to never care if a website was reliable or not. I never evaluated a website before today.
Now I can see why a teacher would need to evaluate a website before sharing it with the class. There are millions of websites out there but not all are good for educational purposes. By evaluating a website first, you can determine if the information presented is accurate and true before you share it with the class. I know I would hate to share a website with my class and while reading it have to say, "well, that's not exactly true." After today, I will evaluate every website before I share it :-)
