My colleagues' research

 

My classmates are great resources.  One of the projects we had to work on was searching for and reporting on software, websites, and other digital media that handle digital citizenship and netiquette.  Two of the sites that I reviewed were offered by William Caruso and Steven Graves.

 

The first site,http://www.examguard.com/TestingEngine.asp is a site that allows users to set up online testing for students in an environment that will prevent them from accessing other sites while they are testing. There are additional services that are available with this site which provide feedback to students to help them improve in their knowledge of the content on which they had been tested.  This site is ideal for certification tests or testing centers and could easily be used in a situation in which students need to take proctored testing because they are making up an exam for a face-to-face class or online.

 

The next site, http://www.isafe.org is a haven of information to help any users, especially youth, expand their understanding of how to safely use the internet and all the different outlets that exist within it. Its primary focus is safety and responsibility relating to internet use. This site would help students who have little experience with the internet have a place to learn what is good and bad about the internet so they can feel more confident in their internet use.







There are so many different resources available. It is helpful to collaborate with others who have done some research to help have that many more credible sites refer to; thanks, fellas.
