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

classroom activities and webquests are easily adaptable
