Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
The overall learning objectives reflect important ICT literacy standards. Individual resources vary in terms of learning goals or their specificity, which impacts the efficacy of learning. Each item has detailed information including a summary, audience (T=teen, P=parent, T=teacher), and time needed to read. Content warninsg are also included on relevant resources. Users can search the website by topic, which clusters resources accordingly. With the variety of resources, teachers can easily write assignments using them. In addition, the AI concepts and examples apply directly to daily life.
Concerns:
Resources are stand-alone, and vary in content and treatment so they relate only at the topic level. Teachers will need to review each resource to determine its appropriateness.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
The website is very visually and topically engaging; materials are commercially and professionally created. Users can navigate the site independently; little technological skill is needed. They can also search for resources by audience, format and topic. Links to content are clearly marked. Editor's review notes are summarized and available for most resources.
Concerns:
No help feature is provided, and many resources do not seem to be ADA-compliant.
While there is a search filter, you can't keyword search through the content...just browse.
