6816 - TrackStar

My first impression of this was very confused.  I had never heard of TrackStar until now.  I was confused at what to click and what to do; however, when I started looking around - I realized it was basically all set up for you - you just needed to click on what came next. I think that the "view in frames" confused me the most.  It was easier for me to understand what to do when I read it in text view.

I also feel like if you had two windows open - it may be easier.  One window could be the sites you needed to visit and the other could be the TrackStar.

I feel like this helps students through the process.  I feel that the students who were researching would really enjoy it.  Instead of them doing all of the research themselves, finding things that may not be validated sites, they would be using this.

Also, it shows the bias in the articles - this is one thing that I think students would have trouble with.

I also enjoyed within the directions - the questions that the reader needed to ask themselves.  I like how their was a little voice put inside my head for it.

I really enjoyed the time travel one! It was intriguing.
