Exploring the Web

This week we were supposed to check out websites and make sure that they were suitable for student and teacher use, using the five website evaluation criteria. This was a great assignment because this is something we can use in the future when we want to use websites both for work and personal purposes. We now know what to look for to make sure they are useful websites.
We met with our groups again twice since our last class meeting. We worked on our Newsletter, group Wiki and Chapter 8 Power point presentation. The Newsletter and Power point went smoothly. For the power point we thought it would work better if we split up the sections among us and then one of us make the power point. This worked out well since it is a little more difficult to put together a presentation over the computer, then if we were sitting around a table with each other. The Wiki on the other hand was a little more confusing, but eventually I think we got it. We put a lot of time and effort into this weeks projects.
