Website Evaluation

I chose to evaluate the website www.spellingcity.com. The website is a site designed to help students create an online spelling list to be able to study from. There is an author biography, although it seemed to be a little difficult to find at first. I found it by accident. The "Contact Us" page is well constructed but that is not where the Author Bio is located.

According to the site, it is a "game-based learning tool for vocabulary, spelling, writing and language arts." The site is a colorful and friendly-looking page. For students, there are a lot of words and things to click on everywhere but I still think it can be easy for them to use.

I think the site could be a helpful tool for teachers and parents to use. Students like using technology for the majority of the time and if they can add a technology tool to their learning, I think it could be beneficial. I also like that the spelling lists students or parents or teachers upload onto the site, are then saved for later use. Students can use the site again and again to study for their spelling tests.
