Website Lists From the AVA Center
How We Evaluate Websites:
Excellent -
An excellent site with good information, graphics, links, and educational value.
Usually includes lesson plans. Usually includes multiple
sections and topics.
Very Good - Almost
as good as Excellent but not quite, maybe some of the links are
missing or there aren't enough of them. Maybe there are
fewer graphics or it's just a smaller site. Maybe there is
just less information or there are no lesson plans or educational
sections.
Good - Frequently a site with a
single type of information or topic such as a crossword puzzle or
game. Still has good value as
an information or a research site for students or teachers. Does not contain
lesson plans or those that are there are brief.
Important: Don't assume that the only valuable sites are rated Excellent. A "Good" site may be just what you need.
Website lists are designed to be used by teachers and students in grades K-12 although many are not limited to those grade levels. Where possible, we note appropriate grade levels.
A Note About
Webquests - What
they are - How they work - How to create one
Many lesson plans,
classroom activities and webquests are easily adaptable
to your location or other grade levels.
Please be patient. These pages are long and some are slow to load, depending on your connection. They're worth the wait!
