evaluating websites

I have read many of your blogs tonight and researched this subject for about 30min and the information out there is great. I have to admit that I did not think much about this topic before this class. My kids are young and have yet to surf the web. I only surf on a limited basis and they are sites that are very popular. Now, how many parents out there are like me? This is a subject that we need to tackle head on, not only with our students at school but with information sent home for parents to read. Giving parents these tools will help the students at home when they are working on projects or researching a subject. Parents need to be just as diligent but without the proper tools how are they to know? Education has to be done at school as well as at home. Yes there are parents out there that just don't have time or are not around, but we still need to cover all our bases and spread the word. We need to educate ourselves, the student and the parent.

    Education Ed, this is Christine,

    I really liked your blog, especially the last sentence. I just wonder if you have any ideas how to educate everyone. I'm sure they would be most interesting.
    See you in class

    Hello Christine,

    I like what you had to say. Teachers, parents and students require education in the digital world we live in. It is interesting that one of the best ways to educate ourselves about the internet is to use it. Understanding what the markers of a good web site are is vital. I think that we all need to be diligent in our understanding of internet resources. Thank you for your post!

    You hit upon an important point - educating the parents on technology so that they can help their children. Perhalps the schools could offer informational sessions to train groups of parents. Unfortunately, there will always be the parents who don't participate in their childrens' education for a number of reasons. The challenge is always how to help those students.
