Now
that you have evaluated a website using the Website Critique Checklist,
give the website one (1) point for each category for which you checked
"yes." Count up the points and assign it a rating according to the
following scale:
| 30-34 points | Enthusiatically recommend |
| 25-29 points | Recommend |
| 20-24 points | Recommend with reservation |
| 15-19 points | Do not recommend |
| < 15 points | Don't even go there! |
How did the website do? Although it may take a little time initially, evaluating websites that your students use (and that you design) is an extremely valuable tool. It is important to be a critical consumer of information, and to teach your children to do the same.
