Website Evaluation

I thought the website evaluation was helpful in demonstrating to me all of the various things to consider when deciding whether a website is appropriate for a K12 classroom. I do; however, think the exercise might have been more helpful if the website I evaluated wasn't as reputable. Something I learned from the evaluation, is how difficult it is to find the author of a website, especially if it is a large website because there are probably many editors. I have always wondered why websites do not have pages that have all their reference information on it. That would be extremely practical with the increasing use of the internet as a source for teachers and students. After the activity, I wonder if websites being under consrtuction automatically make them not reputable. Don't websites have to be under construction at some point? I also  considered, while do my evaluation, how difficult it can be to determine if a website is bias. I did think the evaluation helped me to apply the things I have previously been taught to look out for when looking for sources on the web. I did not, however, ever consider the design and layout of the site when evaluating websites before this activity. The evaluation is helpful in preparing me to appropriately evaluate and present websites for my students, so that they can access relevant and current websites.
