How are Web Pages Evaluated for the Guides?

Resource Integration

Resource Integration: The Web page is easily implemented, adds value to preexisting resources (text, video, worksheets, and so on), and is articulated to the Standards. Materials include answers to all specific questions asked. This rubric is not intended to evaluate a page's ability to integrate across different disciplines, but how well the page in question provides teacher or classroom integration recommendations, e.g. teacher tips, editable worksheets, technology instigation tips, etc.



Participants rate the web page for the following criteria:

Poor

Fair

Good

i. Page provides no mention of how it might be integrated into the curriculum, adapted to existing resources, or various classroom environments, audiences, or levels of connectivity.

i. Page provides a link to download a worksheet, study guide.

The Page provides any one of the following:

i. Supporting materials called for by the web page (hand-outs, worksheets, study guides) are printable. The page explains why the materials are required or suggested, and it suggests alternatives. The materials are available for download in various file formats (PDF/Word/Appleworks) or mail, and provide help instructions for downloading/viewing/ printing.

ii. A description or link describing how the page's content may be adaptable to various classroom environments, for example different class sizes, duration of instruction periods, number of computers available, or other variations; and provides illustrative examples. These adaptations provide a central and prominent role in the teacher support section of the Web page.

iii. The Web page is adaptable to diverse multicultural environments, and includes methods that enhance the appeal or success of the Web page for students typically under represented in the sciences such as bilingual students and/or minority students.
