I highly recommend the educational website starfall.com. The information included on the site is accurate and backed up by research. The material is fun and useful. The site includes an "about the authors" section that provides a descriptive background of the author and the design team. Their credentials are valid, and the dates of creation and revision are provided. The only hesitation I have in recommending this website is the reliability of the publishing body. After reviewing and considering all of the above elements, I highly recommend this website for use in a classroom with younger students who are learning to read.
Through this activity I learned a lot on evaluating websites. I learned the major elements that must be looked at to determine if a website is valid or not. In the field of education and in this technological age, I am constantly finding myself searching for websites to use as references for educational assignments or for students to use in a classroom setting. The web has so much to offer in terms of education, but it also includes a great deal of inaccurate and ineffective material. I will now be able to find the best and most reputable websites to ensure that I am receiving accurate information and giving my students the best web experience possible.
