Since this website was disapointing, I went to my elementary school website (which all of my younger siblings still attend except for two of them). This website was a bit more encouraging where all of the teachers had very cute and fun pages but needed a passcode to enter which I thought was good and safer for teachers and students. Here is a picture of one of the teacher's websites-
This is actually my third grade teacher at Trinity Catholic School and she is still teaching! She has links to all of the spelling words which could be helpful to parents in helping their students study! She also includes a calender with all of their events and a class schedule to parents will know which classes their chidlren are in at what time. This website is very helpful to parents and it is cute and fun to look at!
We learned in the podcast that productivity tools help people complete everyday tasks easier. Some of the tools they mentioned were Microsoft Office, Evernote, and Diigo. I use Microsoft Office a lot for papers and Powerpoint already. Using Powerpoint while teaching is very important, I believe. It helps put notes on the projector so students can take notes while you explain what you're teaching into more detail. Evernote helps people take notes and it saves automatically so you never lose your information. Teaching using productivity tools is very important while teaching because it helps with record taking and jobs that you do everyday.
I learned a lot from our website evaluation project and I also got to work with some cool people! We evaluated websites based on currency, accuracy, design, and accessibility. These are all extremely important when you are trying to decide if a website is reliable or not. This skill is very important to have when you are a teacher because you ant to make sure that the information that you are giving your students is up to date and correct. Also, if you are allowing and encouraging children to go on certain websites, you want to make sure that it is appropriate and easy to work. I liked this project because I believe it is important and I understand why we were assigned to it.

I like how you compared two school sites. In reality, many teachers and schools do not update their websites. What do you think parents think?
