Website Evaluations

Last week, we did an activity to show the importance of finding credible websites to use in the classroom when presenting information. I chose to use ASL Pro, because it pertains to my major. I wanted to figure out if somebody unfamiliar with ASL could see this site as a good reference for learning or checking ASL. What I found blew me away! This website I've used for most of my college career could look very sketchy to the rest of the world! There is no contact information for anyone, and the history and start up of the website are not mentioned. Also, there are several annoying pop-ups and advertisements all over the place. Sheesh! Luckily, we use this as a reference in class so I knew it was legit but otherwise... I may have been struggling to find a good visual dictionary forever! Thanks TPTE for teaching me about how to find credible websites.
