Above are the results of my web browsing quiz.
I found the tutorials easy to follow and entertaining. I believe that many 6-8th grade students would learn information that they thought they already knew, as I felt that way. I learned the terminology for many of the terms we use daily without understanding the source of the acronyms. I believe the biggest problem to using these tutorials in the classroom would be the students themselves. The age group that these are written for tends to have the attitude that the know everything. They also strive to identify themselves as not being children, so the format of the cartoon character would probably turn them off from learning. I did not experience any problems with the tutorials.
