Teacher-Made Websites
Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School
Dolores Gende
created a website that provides her students with access to an incredible
amount of information. Part of the site
is only applicable to her specific students, in that it involves the syllabus
and class information. The rest of the
site works great for any student or teacher looking to find resources on the
internet. The site is directly geared
toward A.P. physics students because it also contains links to the A.P. physics
official sites, but it also contains tutorials, demonstrations, and problems
that could be used with any high school physics class. My three commendations for this site are that
it contains an amazing amount of very worthwhile resources, it is very easy to
use and circulate throughout the site, and it provides students and teachers
with links to almost every site having anything to do with physics. My first recommendation for this site would
be to update the information a little because it does not include many great
physics sites that have only come about recently. My second recommendation would be to liven up
the appearance of the site because the site is pretty dull and boring as it
is. My last recommendation would be to
improve the ability to find the site by using better key terms. I found this site awhile back and then tried
to return to it, but had difficulty finding it again.

Glenbrook South
This is another great site that
was created by a group of physics teachers at Glenbrook South. The site is also geared toward any high
school physics class, but is primarily for upper level or college level physics
classes because the extensive amount of mathematical principles involved. My three commendations for this site are that
it provides very detailed explanations on a variety of different topics, the
site is easy to use, and it provides students and teachers with tutorials,
problems, demonstrations, and projects that can benefit greatly. My first recommendation would be to continue
creating tutorials for the remaining topics in physics. The site is still being completed, so they
still have a lot of topics that aren’t included. My second recommendation would be to provide
students and teachers with links to some of the better known physics
sites. My last recommendation would be
to also improve the appearance. There is
a ton of cool illustrations and graphics out there for physics and it is very simple
to include them on a website. Take
advantage of the vast amount of resources that are on the internet.
