ablancha134Alicia Blanchard ITEC2360 Fall 2010, World Almanac for Kids-Science-DNA
Overview I reviewed the Website World Almanac for Kids- Science-DNA. The content was poorly put together. I knew it was about DNA because the title is “ What is DNA?”. The audience seemed to be kids in the higher division of Elementary Education: so 4th or 5th graders; however, it also looked like they could get bored because it didn’t have any way to draw the kids in. The authors of the site were hard to locate. I thing it’s by the world almanac book authors who wrote the books but I’m not sure which author wrote which article because there were a lot of articles without clear authors and it was poorly organized. A few authors were either teachers themselves or parents but the website did not have a way to contact the people to find out if the information was not valid, nor did it have many citations. The website was up to date: it was revised on Aug 3, 2010. The website wasn’t very useful though, because some links in the site wouldn’t open.
Content The content of the website was informational, and pretty accurate. It describes in a very general sense what DNA is and what it does. There are a few definitions of what a gene is or a chromosome and other valued information. The content on the page is pretty clear, however the ending of the page and paragraph is quite abrupt and feels like there could be more information or another page. Reading the information given was easy and rather quick, I felt like the website gave a good foundation to continue learning about DNA. I believe I would use this website as a beginning format the kids could read.
Design The homepage is a little slow at loading and I don’t think kids will like waiting that long to read about something if they aren’t that interested in. However the homepage was pleasing to the eye. It used a lot of color and used a lot of graphics to point out the important parts of the site. At the bottom half of the site is a list of all the chapters you can look through. The copyri -
