Fair Test

    The site I looked at for this blog is Fair Test. I found it to be rather interesting and full of information. However, I do not see how it could be very beneficial in the classroom of a reading teacher or a content teacher trying to incorporate reading.
Support for reading in the content areas
    I do not see where this site directly supports reading in the content area. However, it does discuss students needing a deeper understanding of information and I believe that comes from reading. It talks about multiple choice testing being damaging to students and schools; one reason being that students are only taught to read and answer those types of questions. That leads me to believe they would support more critical reading in the content area.
Ease of navigation
    I had no issue navigating the site. There are a list of tabs at the top of the page you can choose from and subcategories if you want to be more specific. There are plenty of links that you can click on to further explore. My only concern is the number of links. I am afraid with there being so many it would be easy to lose focus.
Availability of classroom resources
    I did not see classroom resources. However, there is plenty of information that could benefit teachers and drive their instruction. There is information on alternate testing that teachers could incorporate into their testing strategies.
Usability for intended audience: students, parents, teachers, or a combination
    I think this site it solely for teachers or people supporting this specific agenda. I do not really see where students or parents could benefit from this information. There is some information on colleges and what they are looking for as far as testing is concerned, so that could be helpful to parents.
    Overall, I think this is a good site. It has a wealth of information with articles and sources to support their claims that high-risk testing is damaging to students and teachers. However, it is not a very good site if you are looking specifically for reading strategies or techniques.

Virtual Middle School Library

For today’s blog I chose to review the site, Virtual Middle School Library at http://www.sldirectory.com/virtual.html It originally caught my attention because many kids today do not want to look at a book or even go in a library. However, they are all about technology so I figured combining the two might make for a pretty good site, and it did! This librarian, Linda Bertland, did a really good job adding each aspect of a library to the website and more! Support for Reading in the Content Areas     This site has it all! Links and information for all content areas, even music! I especially like the links that takes the students to live sites, such as USA Today, where they can read online what it going on in the world today. I also like the availability of YouTube links that allow students or parents to learn or understand something better. Ease of Navigation     I think that this site is easy enough to navigate for students, teachers, and paren...

The Graphic Organizer

I was really excited to learn about this website because I have been trying to utilize more graphic organizers in my classes. I think having a way to understand and sort out the information is a very important next step when reading. The Graphic Organizer at http://www.graphic.org/ however, is not as user-friendly as I hoped. It has some great explanations and examples but lacks the ability to recreate an organizer on the site. Support for reading in the content areas     Graphic organizers alone are a great support for reading. This site is really good about explaining which graphic organizer to use and why. It provides detailed information on multiple organizers and gives examples of each. I especially liked that if I was unsure of which one to use, this site would help me choose the right one. Ease of navigation     The navigation was not so easy. Many of the link I tried to click on wanted me to download a software or my computer said was un...
