An interesting Site
  Every week I want each member of the class to find an interesting web site that might have educational , or professional value .  I would like you to post the address to the Discussion Board so that we will be able to share it.

I want you to be able to describe the site, with these headings

  • useability including navigation
  • style and attractiveness - or lack of it
  • technology - how complex, need for plug-ins
  • Does it work on all these levels
