Website Evaluation

I chose the Dog Island Free Forever Website. (http://www.thedogisland.com/)

- The website gives a list of people who work at the island, but there is not specifically a person listed as the author of the site itself. 



- It tries to make it look like the owners are very large animal lovers and that they will take good care of the animals. Although, nowhere on the page did I see a location given. 



- The site looks to have been created in 2003, this is when it was copyrighted.





-The website is just a .com website which means anyone could have created it and it could or could not be reliable.






* I don't think that this site is very valid, it has its reasons that I might believe some of it because of the press that they have been given, and the articles written on it but in the HOW section of the questions it says when in doubt, doubt and I really am not sure about it so I am doubting. 

Question 4 and 5 Statistical Answers

4.

5. This chart is a graph of grade 11, all levels 1 and 2  reading scores. The scores are pretty low actually but the Low SES students of level or series 1 have the highest grades. Many of the grades are right around the same percentage of about 25%-35% but there are some that are very scattered.

I believe that integrating technology into the classroom is very important. If children can't use technology they are going to be over taken by the world. Technology is becoming important to society and is a big part of it now. I believe that students should be able to use things on the computers and the internet that will help better themselves and their learning. A child is capable of whatever they set their mind to and if they do not have everything they need to do it then they are only being cut short of their own capabilities.

Educational Leadership

“Yet more and more students spend more and more time online. Rather than ignoring this fact of life, educators and education policymakers should embrace it. From video games to social networks, incorporating what students are doing online into the school curriculum holds great, and perhaps the only, promise for keeping students engaged in learning.”

This section of the article really struck me. I absolutely agree with what it is saying. I feel that the more internet and technology based things are, the better off a teacher would be as to getting their students to learn. Kids now days thrive on the little things that have to do with technology. Imagine if video games had something to do with school work, yet were fun at the same time, kids would learn things like crazy and enjoy it at the same time. Technology is taking over and textbooks within the next fifteen year in my opinion probably won’t even be around because digital media and the internet will soon take over them.
