For this module, check out the lists of online applications I've put together. Act as a critic and evaluate at least four online applications across the different lists. Try the sites out. Put them through the ropes. Are they easy to use? Would your students be able use them? Write an evaluation for each of the site you check out. Also, explain how you could use the application in YOUR class. Note: If another person has evaluated one of the applications already, you can build off their evaluations. I'd like to have the whole list of links evaluated though. Each evaluation you write should be about 150 words in length.
Note: All of these sites are (or were) FREE. If you come across a site that is no longer FREE, don't review it. For this assignment, I want us to examine only those tools that are freely available to our classrooms! Also, be sure to put your name with your posts.
Family Tree Applications: MyHeritage review by beckj909=becky lopez
Itsourtree.com takes you to a page with five sites listed to choose from that help with different options such as making a simple family tree and tree templates. Myheritage.com was the first option so that is the one I chose to explore. Myheritage.com is also the site that our US Government teacher uses in one of this assignments with students. You can either create an account or download the file. I choose to download the file because of privacy concerns. I rather not have my personal info on the internet. Was very organized and takes out most of the work for you. There are videos along with step by step instructions on how to use each modification. I created a simple family tree and was very happy with the results. I can see how this would be a good tool for students, easy to navigate, free, and looks organized. I would use this as an introduction activity for a class or group.
