I did a website evaluation on Tate Kids. I think the process of the evaluation is helpful. Although it does take some time, it give you the confidence as a teacher that anything the students might come across in their searching would be both accurate information that backs up concepts they learn in my classroom but also age appropriate material. It is also important to know what browser specifics or plug-ins are needed, so that when you go to use the site in class there are not time sucking technical glitches.
It is also a good idea to be familiar with the site if students are using it in class so that you can confidently answer any questions regarding the games or content the students are using.
