Activity 3: Assigning a score to a site.

Once you have evaluated a site using the Site Critique Checklist and discussed your evaluation with a partner, jointly 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!

 

To download and print a copy of a form to keep notes on the sites you've evaluated click here.

Tip: keep a copy of this form open but minimized while you surf. When you find a site you want to make note of, cut and paste its url into the appropriate column and make a few notes about it. You can keep a running log of all the sites your into or make new lists as appropriate.
