Flexibility of Design• Every time you create a movie, you
get to choose the scene, actors, and the script along with motions and sounds.
• Every movie can be different and set in a different place.
• There are many different characters to choose from.

Security• The website recommends that the
users are 13 and older.
• To sign in, you need a user name and password.
![Page 8: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ability to Correct Mistakes

Can You Add Media?• You can’t add your own media
such as sound, pictures, etc.
• You have to use what the website has available to you.

How Could I UseThis With…
• Students– Simulation learning in the classroom
(science and math)• Parents
– Additional resources at home (extending what we learned in school)
• Other Teachers– Workshops, co-teaching, different grade
levels• Community
– Blog with new ideas and what we are working on in the classroom
![Page 12: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ease of Use• This website is broken down by grade
level (elementary, middle, high, and university).
• For the simulations, there is an intro, lab, and game.
• There is “support” in the intro so the learner can comprehend the material before letting the support go.
![Page 13: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cost
• PhET provides fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena for free.
![Page 14: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Flexibility of Design• For the simulations, there is some
flexibility due to the manipulation of the materials.
• For example, in Balancing Act, the user moves the objects around on the screen and tries to balance out the scale.
![Page 15: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Security• You can create a login with your email
address and password, but it is not required to explore the site or to use the sims.
• With the registered user, you can opt to receive newsletters four times a year.
![Page 16: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ability to Correct Mistakes
• During the intro of the simulations, you can see if your manipulations “work” or not.
• This is for the user to explore and understand the concept before heading to the game area.
![Page 17: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Can You Add Media?• Like the first site, you cannot add
your own music, video, or pictures.
• The simulations are already set up with the predetermined objects for the users to use (based on the concept).

Flexibility of Design• There is flexibility in that the user
chooses the picture that he/she wants to use as well as the audio file.
• There are no pre-selected pictures to choose from with this website.
![Page 23: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Security• Users are recommended to be 13
years or older to use this site.
• When you sign in with your user name and password, it allows you to see what you have previously made, things you like, and your friends (part of a social network).
![Page 24: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ability to Correct Mistakes
• With this website, the audio that is used is either pre-recorded on the computer, with a microphone, or off a cell phone.
• Because you are using your own audio, you can go back and re-record your message.
![Page 25: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Can You Add Media?• Unlike the first two websites, YES
you can add media!
• The user will add his/her own picture and audio file.
![Page 26: Website Evaluations Jennelle Kesteloot (Richie) Madonna University RDG 5410.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3f3f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Overview• The three sites that I chose to
evaluate can be used at multiple grade levels, in the classroom and at home.
• I had fun exploring all the different links and activities on the sites; I can’t wait to introduce them to my class.
