I would recommend this website to anyone who is interested in this topic of how to integrate technology in your classroom. This person, Kathy offers her services to the community to educate teachers and anyone else interested in using technology in their classes. She offers anything from workshops where you can come and listen with others,or she offers her service to come to your school.
I recommend this website because during the task of evaluating this site, it met most of the requirements on being a reliable website. It was very professional and also included pictures of Ms. Kathy and she provided a link for anyone who is interested in obtaining her services. Another reason this site appears to be reliable is because one of the questions from the task was to see if the author's qualifications suggest that he/she is an authority on the subject and the answer to this is clearly yes. If you go to this site you will find links to a tremendous amount of articles and books she has published along with her full resume. This makes me feel more confident that she is not only knowledgeable, but this site also gives me a good feeling that this site is reliable if I can go to the link and see what all she has published. Also, you did not need to download anything to view this site. No special browser or plug ins needed and this site is free to view. It was very easy to navigate around and that is especially important for someone like me with limited technology experience.
The only things that I had trouble with was finding when the site was last updated. I could see that she had posted an award from this year but I couldn't see that the actual website was updated nor could I find the copyright. I also couldn't figure out who the actual author was. Clearly the website was talking about Kathy, but it was not written in the first person format.
Overall, this website seems very reliable and usable. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested.
