Blog #6
I found the Evalutech website to be very a resourceful tool. As I continue to gain invaluable knowledge each and every week with these websites that are being shown to us I feel like there is a very good community of teachers that will be able to help me out in the formation years of my teaching style. Websites like this one will allow me to make sure the information that I am relaying to my students or superiors is that of valid and legitimate context. I feel it is very important to know the information from the Internet we use in the classroom is valid because so any Joe schmo can post whatever they want on the web and if one doesn't check into the source of information it can be false. One negative aspect of the website was that it was not that easy to follow. I found myself struggling to keep track of all the links stacked on top of each other. Due to this problem I lost interest in searching and could have possibly skimmed over a link that would be extremely helpful. All in all this website is another beneficial tool that will help all of the young teachers in our class become the most accurate and capable teachers we can be.

Casey,
I had problems with the links too. That webpage had so much information, though, that I can see why the interface needed to be so complex.
I was also very interested in the potential uses of this webpage to evaluate others and make sure we're using the best possible material. Assuming, of course, that this webpage is accurate! >.>
Cheers,
Ian
You know what..I only opened a few links so maybe that is why I didn't have any problems and loved the website. I can see how easily one could loose interest, especially because there is so much that it can be overwhelming. What I did was focus on a subject area and searched for resources on that.
I loved the website. I thought that it was very helpful in providing us future teachers with resources so that we don't accidentally buy the wrong software with the little bit of money we will have for our students. I didn't experience any problems with sites but then again I was using the school computer, who knows what might have happened had I been using my super slow home computer or worse my cyberguarded work computer :)
