1. What form(s) did you like/dislike? Why?

I liked the cyberguide ratings form best because it gave you the option of not only 'yes' or 'no' but also 'N/A' which I really appreciated because I felt a lot of the time the questions that were asked did not apply and it helped having n/a as an option of choice.
I disliked the MidLink Magazine form because you have to rate the website and I had a difficult time rating the website. It is easier to just say 'yes' or 'no' if a website has the certain criteria because the website either has the information or it doesn't.

2.Were there any hidden secrets about a website you discovered by using an evaluation form?

No, I did not discover any hidden secrets about a website by using an evaluation form. But I did find out that knowing who wrote the web page can be useful and informative. It is important to know that a web page may be biased if it is written by someone with a high stake interest in it and/or an 'enemy.'

3. What is the value of using a web site evaluation process?

The value of using a web site evaluation process is that the evaluation helps the user to see if the website they are using is appropriate and accurate. It shows whether the website is credible and one worth using.

4.Are there times you would/would not use a formal evaluation?

Yes, there are times that I would or would not use a formal evaluation. For example, if I was doing a lesson for my classroom I would want to use a formal evaluation to make sure that the website I was using was credible and appropriate for my classroom. But, if I was just doing an activity with my family or something of that sort I don't feel that it requires a formal evaluation to find out if it is appropriate.

Overall, I never really like filling out worksheets or filling out forms because I feel it is busywork and I would rather do activities that are hands-on. Yet, I understand the importance of filling these out because we need to have a criteria that informs us whether a website is credible or not. I think that filling 4 forms out was a bit much and that the idea of the lesson could have been accomplished with just one form. :)
