Name of the student: Nouf – Lena
Software/Website Title: Commercial site
As
the use of technology nowadays is increasing day by day, we can clearly see
that is being entered also in almost every section and aspects of our lives,
and this includes the education field where the technology has made a very big
change. Students now can easily develop and improve their education through
using the technology and the websites which are specialize in education with
its different fields and levels. One of those websites is http://www.eduplace.com/tales
.
This
website is a commercial website that aims to practice the students reading and
listing also as the tales are geared for grades 3 and above. It contains a
large number of an interesting and enjoyable tales that helps the child to turn
the learning to an entertaining process rather than just a boring learning
process. Also, as there is a chance to let the child have his own version of
the tale by choosing the names, cities, towns, verbs and nouns, It'll increase
the child's motivation and create an enjoyable atmosphere.
This
website is a branch of the official website of the Education Place of the
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company. It has been noticed that the website is not
updated and there is no date information. It can contact to the authors but no
reference list.
Also
for the background, layout, navigation, and the links, The design of the
website isn't attractive to attract the child's eyes. The home page has a
little colorful picture, but other pages have no graphic picture or animation.
The font style and size are good and easy to read and appropriate for heading
and text. Also, the tales links are easy to open and it doesn't take a long
time to open. There is no search section and no advertisement at all. In
addition, it can use and move around the site easily, free to use with no login
requirement and well structured and organized website.
The website is good, but
need some improvements. For example, adding an option for printing out, images
and animations, feedback, Sound to improve listening skills, search section and
update the tales.
