Providing Educational Information via a Web Site
There are many sites containing educational content on the Web, from graphically slick commercial sites that use "educational resources" to attract teachers to them, to lists composed by teachers for their own needs. The following list can serve as a starting point for discussion of educational Websites.
- The Center
for Educational Resources
The Israeli site has one English page, the rest is in Hebrew.
What graphical impression does the English page make?
What is it trying to do? - Adit
Net
What sort of a site is this one? What graphical impression does the first page make? What about all the others?
How much of the content it provides is its own, and how much is links to other places?
- Judi
Harris's Educational Activities Collection
Who is this site for? Teachers? Kids? Is it useful? Is it attractive?
Most of the links on this page have not been updated for too long. But look at it as an example of what one teacher has done.
- San
Diego State University's EdWeb
How does the "look and feel" of this site compare with Judi Harris's site, which is basically doing much the same thing? What's the difference between them? Which do you prefer?
- Classroom Connect
This looks to me like a commercial site. Why?
It has 2 resource lists. Does it have any useful educational content produced by the organization itself?
- GSN:
Global Schoolnet Foundation
This link goes to the GSN site map. What's the "look and feel" of this site? Who is it planned to attract?
- The Global SchoolHouse
A companion site to GSN; the two may have been combined by the time of the course.
