As you look at these sites, considering the research we’ve shared in class thus far, does the website you choose seem to follow the current research? Do you see the “big 5” represented? What’s missing? Does it seem engaging for students? What other thoughts do you have? Do you have other websites you find to be better? (You do not need to answer all my questions here, these are here to get you thinking.)
