Search Words : I used Google as my search engine.  My first search, "teacher made websites", yielded thousands of websites that were resources for teachers.  I then tried "teacher made websites for middle school math" and received several thousand websites with math as their theme.  "Teacher made pages" yielded the same results.  Fourth time is a charm- "Teacher made pages" yielded excellent results- about 2,610,000 pages created by teachers.

I highly recommend the website http://www.pvpusd.k12.ca.us/teachweb/ , an excellent website with several teacher instructional pages categorized from Kindergarten through High School.

Description

Mrs. Starodub's website - I selected  this page from the above website under the category of middle school math.

    Commendations

• Well designed and student firndly Home with pictures and easy to read, well-organized categories.

• Announcement link that is updated weekly with reminders and news for the week.

• Excellent, relevant and practical links on hw help, tutor list, teacher wish list,
  

    Recommendations

• HW was posted through the end of the week.  Material may not be covered in class so that hw schedule may be inaccurate.

• Links are all listed on a separate category-  It may faciliatate access to have a hw help link in the hw section, etc.

• The home page is colorful, with pictures and fun fonts- not so of many of the links.  They could use a little color and fun.

Mrs. Holman's website- This page was also selected from middle school math category as an opposing example.

    Commendations

• I don't have many commendations for this webpage because I chose it as an example of a website I did not like.
  

    Recommendations

• 4 of the 5 links on the home page were inactive

• The website is listed under math yet only one link is for math- the other four deal with cooking and sewing.
  

• The links on the math link are not very useful to the student other than stating policy.
