Assignment III Discussion Post ~ Evaluating Websites

Good morning!

For this post, let's edit what I have written here to include what websites each of us will be evaluating. Prior to evaluating these, however, you need to evaluate the website in the lesson for this week and email the professor. This is due by Wednesday. This week's assignments are individual assignments. Each of us will be evaluating 3 different websites. Please include below the URLs for the websites you will be evaluating. In terms of types of websites we are looking it, I think they should be about how to research or resources on researching for kids or teaching kids and specific content about significant people of Kalamazoo. I have started a list below of types of websites we think we should look to evaluate - please feel free to add to it.

Here are the due dates for this week as well:
Email to instructor, due by Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. 
Evaluation of Web Sites is due by 11:59 p.m., Sunday, January 29, 2017.
