Web site design and ease of navigation: This website is very accessible and can be easily navigated. This website design is for teachers to find material for their classroom and lesson plans. It will help teachers find material for all ages and grades. The tool bar at the top has the grade levels, which they are looking for, and a search bar if the information is not right there. It is easy to read. Once you scan your mouse pointer over the tool bar it will have a drop down menu for the grade level subjects. Then the teacher may precede to the next area she or he wishes to search. It has resource material and featured content information and articles for the teacher to read. I like this because it gives the teacher information on how to teach to the class and other comments by other teachers.

Response and Recommendation of use:  I would use this site to better my classroom management skills. To provide better material on the subject I am teaching. This will not only help me but my students learn. The PBS program has many different shows and activities for teachers to help their students in the classroom and outside of the classroom. This will help not only teachers but parents as well. Students can have their parents watch the programs with them and become a family night. This will help the students achieve better in school and at home. Teachers need all the help they can get with the demand of higher thinking and achievements for the students and school. This website will help take the pressure off some of the lesson planning. If the teacher is prepared for the students, the students will have maximized learning time.
