TEACHER CREATED WEB SITES
It was interesting to see how www responded to the various search queries. I think the one that gave the best teacher created web sites was just that “teacher created web sites.” When that was written as the search 142 sites came up. When you put websites together as one word 70+ thousand came up. Query makes a difference. Many of them were professional but the one above was an outstanding school web site with pictures and movable graphics. Sometimes this will encourage parents to move into that district if they see that the schools use technology. I was very impressed with this site. There were mainly accommodations at this site

After some more looking around I came up with this site and
one more. The problems with these sites
are 2 fold; one the sites didn’t tell you what subject they were for. And secondly a number of the pages were not
accessible. I did like the one teacher’s
movable fish. And many of the graphics
were colorful. One thing I have noticed
is it takes an awful lot of time to keep sites up to date. But it is important for teachers to be able
to use their time wisely. Also it is helpful to have someone who is much more
technical than I am to do the leg work.
