Today I reviewed the Guggenheim Art Museum website for my 486 class. It was pretty informative to really focus on the validity of a webpage and how user-friendly it is. Evaluating something like a website isn't something I think gets thought about much, but is an integral part of using the Internet. It is important to find reputable sources and sites, and really looking at how a site is built, ran, maintained, and laid out is crucial to its reliability and usability. I generally don't have a problem not using reputable sites or being able to tell if a site is a safe resource and to a certain extent being able to notice whether a site is legit is something that is a sixth sense to a degree if you grew up using the Internet. If not, however, doing an evaluation or review is a great way to really delve into this concept and way of thinking.
The Guggenheim site is a fantastic one, and I highly recommend it's use for artists and art educators alike. The Guggenheim in NYC is one of the most amazing museums I've had the pleasure of going to and I hope to visit it again as soon as possible, as well as the other worldwide locations of the Guggenheim if I ever get to travel anywhere near them.
