Arizona Technology in Education Alliance
Exemplary Web Site Awards

What makes an excellent school web site?

Excellent websites must:

  • have good content and accurate information
  • be easy to navigate
  • be well-organized and grammatically correct
  • be easy to see and use in all browsers

These characteristics are true of any web site. But what are the special characteristics of an exemplary educational web site?

Dr. Alice Christie developed rubrics to evaluate educational web sites, with input from practicing teachers who have their own web sites and who provide leadership in technology integration within their schools and districts.

Web site evaluation rubrics:

  • Part One, which is common to all web sites
  • Part Two, which is specific to education web sites at different levels:
    • K-12 Schools
    • K-12 Teachers
    • Educational Programs
    • Community College or University Departments or Divisions
