Evaluating Websites: The Metropolitan Museum Of Art

Explore & Learn at the MET.MUSEUM OF ART is the web site I evaluated for the class assignment this week and I highly recommend it as an excellent Art Education site! Even if you are not an Art Education teacher, you can use this site to integrate art, learning, imagination, and fun into your curriculum.
The site is reliable, easy to navigate, contains up to date information, and is virtually advertisement free. There is something on the site for any student regardless of grade or ability. Currently, students can explore and learn simultaneously by visiting the interactive
Shipwreck: An Ancient Sea Trading Game!
Evaluating websites for reliability and usability opened my eyes to the world of screening sites. I have never searched for revision dates or researched many authors' qualifications prior to this exercise. Previously, I assumed that most websites were up to date or without bias. I realized thru the process that the conscious act of checking for these important and sometimes underlying issues can have an effect on the decision for a teacher to send students to a location or not.
