Educational
Value of
Site |
It
gives students insight to the new materials on the market and how they can be
used with their project or in a future project. It also is a site that can
show how we are coping with an ever-changing world where we need to use our
resources and waste to our best advantage. New materials come on the market
almost daily and students need to keep abreast of the latest that is out
there. |
|
Strengths
of Site |
It has a great variety of products to check out
that are not readily available to look at locally. Products are listed and described in detail as well as having
been referenced as to what type of project it is to be used on. The site is
well set up in that the side menu allows great mobility within the site to
the immense information. |
|
Weaknesses
of Site |
It is not a commercial free site and has many distractive
boxes that pop up as well as the advertisements that are always present. It
is part of a larger site and a student could get lost but with minimal
knowledge of the internet navigating on this site should be easy. |
