Evaluating Websites, part of the Teacher's responsibility.
Evaluating websites
is an iatrical part in putting together your digital curriculum. You want to make sure the information you are
promoting, as an aid is accurate, safe, and beneficial to your students and
their families.
If the information is
inaccurate you risk promoting or teaching wrong information. Your credibility is also at risk, if a
website is not current or accurate.
Parents and students count on teachers to provide truthful information
that will aid their children.
Knowing about a
website and it’s content is also important to keeping children safe. A site with many advertisements or links
would not be advisable. The reason being
it is much harder to protect children from clicking an inappropriate link. We have talked about the dangers of the
Internet and websites should be monitored for those reasons.
It is important that
as teachers we don’t waste a family’s precious time on websites that offer
nothing significant for the child. We
want to help families and children learn to be productive members of
society. There is nothing more
frustrating than websites that just suck up time with no benefit.
The obligation as a
teacher is great. Morally they need to
provide a stimulating, helpful, and safe learning environment. Websites can be a valuable resource to
education.
