Tech and Assessment

5/7/14

Website 1: Personal Wellness

  1. I would rate this website as very helpful. There are many different tabs that include nutritional facts for people who are running wellness programs that can be accommodating.
  2. If I could make one suggestion on how to technologically improve this site I would recommend making it easier for children, including different tables that include instructions and describe different foods.
  3. If I could make one suggestion on what content to improve on this site it would be to have a separate tab for adults that include different exercises for them to take part in.
  4. The information on this website was accurate because it came from the “Dairy Council of California”. The, “Dairy Council of California,” has been around for almost 100 years and has been an innovator in nutrition for education.
  5. This site could be helpful in my future profession of being an athletic director because, I can recommend this site for athletes who are looking to eat healthy and eat the correct type of food.
  6. The quiz that I took on this website was very helpful because it gives you nutrient-rich foods that are important in a healthy diet.

Website 2: Calorie Burned During Activity

  1. This website was somewhat helpful however I wish it offered more information. It only has a certain amount of activities on the front page and it does not list every weight.
  2. I would make different links for every activity and I would include all types of sports so viewers can see how many calories they are actually burning.
  3. I would add a lot more content to this website. I would add more exciting photos to this website and I would also separate the activities into different charts instead of having only one.
  4. The information on this website looked accurate but there was no solid evidence on how all of the information was calculated. However, at the top of the page there is a link to a new chart but I am a little confused as to why that information is not on the main page as well.
  5. This site can be used in my profession because it can show athletes how many calories they are burning during their respective sports.
  6. There was no survey or quiz on this website.

Website 3: Nutrition Calculator

  1. The layout of this page is very interesting and grabs the viewer’s attention. I personally feel that there could be more of a description on the front page.
  2. I believe that the technology on this page is well put together and there are great links located all over the website.
  3. I believe this website could have presented more information on the different calculators they offer. They should have described each calculator and tell the user what it does exactly.
  4. This website did not offer much information, however, I know it is accurate because I looked up some of the words in textbooks that I have from my classes and they can be found in the glossary.
  5. I could use this website in my future profession of being an athletic director by having athletes who are concerned with their weight use the calculators that are listed on the website to help them with their problems.
  6. The body mass index calculator is very easy to use, all the user has to do is put in their height and weight and the results show up right away.

Website 4: Aerobic Steps

  1. I would rate this website as very helpful as it has a variety of workouts and different exercises that users can try and get a feel for.
  2. This website has a lot of useful content on it but I would add videos to each different link to improve the site overall. Having videos will help new users with workouts and exercises that they have never done before.
  3. Not much more content is needed to improve this website, however, I would add a brief description of what the website precisely is.
  4. I would say the information on this website is accurate because each link has a description of what the workouts consist of and it shows the step by step process on what to do.
  5. In my future profession of being an athletic director, I can describe this website to athletes who are looking for new types of workouts. I have never heard of some of this workouts and I believe they can be very beneficial to all types of athletes.
  6. I participated in the, “How often do you exercise poll.” All the user has to do is answer the poll honestly and it compares your exercise rate to others around the world.

Website 5: The Library Spot: Sports Calculators

  1. This website is very bland and does not offer much information on the main page. It does seem to be organized but did not catch my attention right away.
  2. I would add more interesting colors to this website so it catches the viewers’ attention. Bright colors always interest people more and make viewers explore the website more as well.
  3. The content needed for this website would be more pictures and even videos to make it more interesting. I would also add a brief description to what the website can actually be used for.
  4. On the main page of this website there was not much information. However, if users select one of the “sports calculators” there is more of a description of what those links actually do.
  5. In my future profession of being an athletic director, I can show certain athletes this website. If baseball players want to keep their stats they can use the “baseball stats” link to help them organize their personal stats. If a football player wants to keep track of their stats they can use the “quarterback passer rating” link, to help them organize their own personal stats as well. This website is not very eye catching, but has some useful links.
