Evaluating Teacher Websites for Elementary Education

This website is entitled Elementary Teacher Resources. It appears to be sponsored by Kelly Mikesell, a teacher for more than ten years. Within this website, Mrs. Mikesell has provided a collection of all her teaching resources (lesson plans, strategies, ideas, etc.) that she has accumulated throughout the years. The main purpose of this website is to educate other teachers and share ideas that she has found helpful. Not only does the website contain a lot of useful tips, it is also very easy to access. The navigation toolbar on the left hand side of the website is very convenient, and allows for easy mobility throughout the website. There are also no advertising links that get in the way while you browse. I believe that this website will be very beneficial to me as a future educator. If I do not know a good lesson plan for a specific subject, I could easily find something to match what I am looking for on this website. Even if I do not find a perfect match to what I am looking for, it will supply me with ideas that I could use to create my own lesson plan. It is always beneficial to learn from other teachers! Along with the Elementary Teacher Resources website, Mrs. Mikesell provided a lot of extra links that may be beneficial to explore at the bottom of her page. One of the most interesting links that I found contained her list of top teacher websites. This could be extremely helpful! Overall, this website seems really awesome. There is such a variety of resources provided for a variety of elementary school grades all compacted into one website. If you are in need of a good teacher website, I recommend visiting Mrs. Mikesell's page!
