Website Evaluation

I have never had to evaluate a website as closely as I had to during this assignment. I can definitely see the value in doing this. Although it was easy to find some of the information, such as the author; it was harder to find some of the other information and judge if would be a good site to use. On the particular site I reviewed, it was somewhat hard to find the editor. This site also did not have readily available contact information. The viewer would have to email the creator first to obtain the contact information. I think knowing how to evaluate a site is going to help me and my students to obtain correct and most current information. I think this is very important in my profession. There are a lot of websites on ASL and deafness related topics that need to be evaluated before I can use them with my students.
