Evaluating TeacherWebs of classmates

For this assignment, the first TeacherWeb that I went to was that of Melissa. The URL is http://www.teacherweb.com/WA/WashingtonStateUniversity/MsSpencer/ . Her 'about me' page was nice, and let me feel like I actually knew a little bit about her and her interests :) She didn't modify the name of her links page to say 'Web Resources', but she does have fifteen links in there, and they seem to be both relevant to her subject, as well as varied in what they provide to students. Each one has the description asked for on the assignment sheet. I was unable to find her link to her wiki page. Her class handouts seemed to be helpful to students struggling with capitalization and spelling, which I thought was a nice resource to provide :) Overall, though I was unable to locate a few things on her page, I like it. It seems like it would be useful both for a student in her class, as well as a parent wanting to know a little bit of information about their student's teacher.

The second TeacherWeb that I visited was that of Mike Divelbiss, at http://teacherweb.com/WA/WashingtonStateUniversity/MrDivelbiss/. I'll say right off the bat that this TeacherWeb caught my attention with all of its interesting icons/animations. Some of them are even comics! I love it! Most of the pictures in his 'about me' portion are of his daughter, but they are very endearing, and the captions show his sense of humor. In his Web Resources page, not all of the links have at least two sentences in their description, but I don't think they're really necessary, as the descriptions are, in my opinion, still adequate. The links are relevant to his content area, and some of them make me want to click on them and read them a little more in depth, such as one about math and music. I dislike that there are actually more like three links about math and music, but I suppose that if he were working with a math teacher on a collaborative project, it would be useful to have those links on his page. I didn't see any Project Reflection things on his page, though he did have some questions that required long responses in the Review Quiz portion. Overall, I enjoyed this page very much as well. It's much more interesting-looking than most of the rest of the TeacherWebs that I've seen, and I like that it captures my attention!
