ASL Learning
Why 4 sites?
The easy answer to this question is that four rhymes with explore and makes a cute project title. The real answer relates to the nature of the Internet. The idea started as we searched for websites that could be used with classroom activities. When we just listed one site in an assignment, Murphy's Law always seemed to apply. The site we needed was "not found", loaded too slowly, or the content was changed. With two sites we're assured that at least one will work, however we really only have one resource. Just as we need three legs for a sturdy chair, we need a least three resources for a successful exploration. With four sites, one can be down and we still have enough for information comparisons. In some cases, we've listed more than four websites on a particular topic. For example, we might provide a few for younger readers and others for more advanced learners.
