The New York Philharmonic Kidszone is a great website resource that I will definitely give to my students to use. I believe that a lot of my students will love using this website because of how easy the site is laid out and how fun and informative it is. This website is great for students from 5th to 7th grade. This site would be most helpful for recruiting students from the 5th grade into the orchestra program for middle school. Students can listen to instruments on the website and learn a little about their role and history in the orchestra. This will help them to decide which instrument that they would be interested in. The only problem with the website is that some of the links on the website are dead and adobe flash player has to be installed to be able to use the website. Overall the New York Philharmonic Kidszone is a great site that also teaches students to think creatively through interactive games where they can compose music and even create their very own instrument. I love this website and I think that it is a great tool that anyone interested in a music program can use!
The website evaluation is going to be very useful for observing future websites. I enjoyed exploring different music websites and researching factors that make a website more reliable. I learned that when I'm looking for a good website that it should be "reliable, accurate, current, presented with no apparent bias and follow good design." This helped me achieve learning objectives that I would want to have in my classroom. I was able to accurately assess a website and decide for myself if I would want to use it for my own classroom.
