Rebekah MenkPurpose: This webpage was designed to foster online learning about a wide variety of landforms.
Bias: N/A It is the intention of the authors to provide a place for learning about many different topics rather than to promote any underlying issues.
Credibility: Although I cannot find a bibliography on this website, I know this website is widely used by educators. The material is informational in nature.
Currency: copyright 2000-2010
Author: Jeananda Col and Mitchell Spector of Enchanted Learning, LLC. The authors of this website have been designing educational web games for children since 1993.
Readability: It is the intention of the authors to make this a student-friendly learning environment. Because of this, the text is broken up into shorter sentences and into smaller bit of information for each topic. This makes it very easy for students to navigate. This website even has a spot on the top of each page which gives the estimated grade-level based on a subscriber grading scale.
Advertising: The advertising is minimal on this website. Most of the advertising is located at the very top so the students would need to be prompted to scroll down to find the information. The advertisements are primarily for subscribing to the website.
Summary: Enchanted Learning is a great resource for teachers and students alike because it provides background information on many topics, for my project specifically, on geography landforms.
How would I use this in my classroom: For my lesson on landforms, I could use this website as a resource for my students. They would be able to view and interact with the glossary to find out more information on different types of landforms. -
