Hi Everyone!
It has been a long time since I have posted. I just finished reviewing the feedback that I received on my Cited.org Toolkit. I chose to send my toolkit to a special education teacher and fifth grade teacher in my building. Both people are moderately comfortable with educational technology. They both liked the idea but only found some of the sites engaging. They really didn't go into deal about why they only found some of the sites worthwhile, but they suggested that it was time consuming going through the list and then having to click on and search through each site. They also said that the school PD site that I designed was very similar. They felt that they would use that resource more than the Cited.org Toolkit that I created.
I also think that this web resource is a bit redundant when compared to the PD site that I created. In the future I will add some of the resources in my Cited.org Toolkit to my school's PD website. I also like the layout better on my school's site. Things are more colorful and I can add a graphic to help describe the different links.
My kit would change if I sent it to an administrator because the resources that I would include in the site would be based on change theory, adult learning, systems management, whatever else an administrative Needs Assessment deemed important.
I think that this web resource is a good idea, and it is a prime example of using the Read Write Web to share and generate knowledge. However, I do not care for how the resources are organized and I feel that it is similar to the tool that I created on my school's PD website.
