Sites that follow the seven rules:

http://www.holbrookhigh.suffolk.sch.uk/history/history_gcse.htm

This site has each topic under a link and few distracting graphics. It's homepage is explanatory and simple. It tells when the page was last updated.

http://www.ignatius.edu/curriculum/curriculum%20guide/history.shtm

This site has organized links and no distracting graphics.

http://www.keystonehighschool.com/index.php

This is probably for a very large school because it has advertisements and Login names, but this site has clear links and a simple descriptive homepage.

Interesting, organized, and informative.

You can see a lot of work went into this website. Though it could use a bit more organization, it was interesting. You could even say a little too much work went into this site.

Not easily organized with links, but is interesting. Background/text is good despite coloring. Site was updated often and had the number of visitors to date posted.

Sites that break the seven rules:

This technology teacher's site was so full of detail colors, that it was hard to even get the idea what the site was about. With all of the bright colors for backgrounds, links, and moving pictures, the site was interesting but far from informative. It also did not make clear what was a link and what was not.

A teacher website that holds information for homework and current events should always be updated. This site had a little bit too much action for my liking as well.

A site can be too boring. In addition to being long, this site had nothing except lots of text on a white background.

This site has all of it's information on it's homepage and no links. Some graphics are distracting from the content.

http://www.scarsdaleschools.k12.ny.us/hs/math1.html

This site has all of it's information on it's homepage and no links. It is not only long, but boring and has little information other than course specifics.

http://www.nvgc.vt.edu/education/math-science.html

This site was not good because all of the content is on the homepage with links that jump down to each section.

Backgrounds change between sites and are bright colors making it difficult to see text and the graphics were distracting. However, the links were easy to use and the site was modified recently.
