Arkeisha's+Web+Evaluations

__ WEB EVALUATIONS __ This website is great for students K-8 who need help with math. It shows you step by step how to solve formulas and problems in various math subjects. There was a little distraction on the website because of the side links. The side links may cause the students to navigate away. My favorite thing about this site is the diversity. Since I am a bilingual (Spanish) minor, I was happy to see that they offer this site to be read in a different language. But overall, I would have my students use the website for learning their math terms and to have them see examples of math problems.

This site is great for students because on the site it has a section in it that allows students to listen to math in English or in Spanish. This allows students to go back and forth with both versions to get a better understanding of what is being said. I would use this for students to take home and do this as homework instead of a in class assignment. -CJ

I thought that this website was very well organized because links to different math topics were listed on the left side and the different grade levels were listed across the top. This could work very well if the teacher already had in mind what specific activity the class was to do. I believe that the students would have too many options and fill their time jumping from one link to the next if not directly instructed as to where they were to go. The home page was free of ads but once you click on a link ads appear throughout the page. This website could work very well if prepared to direct students to a specific activity. ~ MS

This website includes a variety of subject areas to choose from in grade levels K-8. Even though my main focus was to find information about math, which is available on this site, I also found other useful material that students could use in science, social studies, etc. The information on this site is clear and easy to find. One thing that was a bonus was that it did not have any pop-ups or side links to click on. So I wouldn’t have to worry about my students wondering away from the site. I would use this website in my class, and I would have my students use it for studying in all areas. I did notice one thing on this website and that was if you wanted to read a story you must join the website. You can also learn all the material on this site in Spanish as well. The last reason I feel more comfortable with this site was that it is created through a school district. This website is a good website for students.

Once again this site also has English and Spanish version and has all different type of subject areas to learn from. With this site I would still have students do this as a homework assignment. I would not really do this in class often because it takes away from me teaching them and having the internet teaching them. They would just have this as homework for review from what I already taught them. -CJ
