Evaluation of Websites

I still do not see the point of evaluating websites. Personally, I think it is a waste of time because if I need to create materials or to find reading, listening, speaking or writing activities, I google them and I get what I want. 
Analysing sites is not what I expect from this subject. I want to learn how to design my own teaching materials; what should I have in mind while preparing or adapting  reading material; how to use songs, videos, tv series, movies, tales, to teach or revise different topics; among others. I also want to know which other programs and softwares can be used in teaching. 
How to create a Blog, how to use Foxit Reader, Edmodo and Google Docs were very profitable and interesting things to learn. I hope we will go on learning these kind of resources.

Google Docs

A complete and clear Google Docs Tutorial, especially for beginners like me.


Foxit Reader

When I installed this program I did it following the default install. It was a disaster!!!! 
It changed my default search and it added tool bars and icons that I did not want. 
I think that this video can help others not to make the same mistake.



Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants by Marc Prensky

While reading the article, these were the pictures that came to my mind:
Digital Immigrant
Digital Native

On the web, I found great pictures which sum up the article perfectly:

Now I have a serious doubt:
What am I?
