The learning community members are making their blogs...and everyone is ignoring me! Apparently, I'm not that interesting. :)

Anyway, we are discussing what criteria we are using to evaluate digital texts for K-12 students. here are my initial thoughts:

• Content Accuracy
• Aligned to Content Standards
• Viewpoint/perspective/bias
• Age-appropriate
• Pedagogically sound
• Interactivity (audio, add notes, highlight, etc.)
• Takes advantage of the digital tools related to content
• Inquiry based/constructivist
• Promotes creativity/problem solving/ P21
• Motivation (games, points, etc.)
• Addresses diverse learning styles/abilities (differentiation, individualize)
• Teacher-ready materials (assessments, lesson plans, resources)
• User Friendly
• Stable Interface/Smooth Navigation
