Web Page Evaluation

The site URL is http://www.edhelper.com.
The site title is edhelper.com.
The site is student friendly because it offers games and activities; however it is only available to students of teachers who are registered members.
The site is very teacher friendly. It has ideas, plans, worksheets, puzzles, games, and activities for teachers to use to supplement their lessons. It is very well organized by subject, and then subdivided by specific concepts and lessons, as well as by grade level.
It is definitely an appropriate reading level for the audience of teachers that it will mainly reach. The supplementary work for students that is available on the site comes in a range of reading levels. A teacher would easily be able to find appropriate materials on this site for the grade level that they teach.
The screen loads rather quickly.
The site does not contain any advertisement banners or pop-ups.
I did not have any problems accessing any of the links contained on the website.
I feel very comfortable navigating this website. Everything is divided and subdivided very clearly, and the link titles are brief and descriptive. It has a simple design with easy to read text and small, but eye-catching, icons. There is a very convenient search option on the site to limit time spent reading through each section and enable the user to find exactly what they are looking for immediately.
I found the entire site extremely useful. The best features are the supplementary worksheets and ideas for lesson plans. The activities are fun and provide engaging and fun additions to almost any lesson.
I really did not have any problems using this site and found it to be quite clear and user-friendly.
The site seems to be very well maintained. It offers a newsletter with up-to-date information, and even includes a link entitled, “What’s New,” containing seasonal and relevant project ideas.
Students must log in but do not require a password.
The only personal information asked of students is for their first and last name and for their teacher’s email address.
This website seems to be fine as is. It has a large audience; it is easy to use, well maintained, and full of useful information. I suppose in the future the authors will want to modernize it by making the design a little more creative and fancy, but no improvements are necessary at this time.
