Presentation:
This is another website hat is presented in a very pleasing way it re
ally catches your eye. This is more a website focused towards teachers and resources for their classroom therefore it has lots of current facts and hot topics on the main page. It gets you interested and has so many helpful links and articles. It is really a wonderful looking website. On the main pages there are mostly lists of information and where you can go to find more information. They try to include many different things so you can find what you are looking for and then go on to find more specific information from there. There is a headline that keeps changing about some of the top stories right now. I would say that it uses technology in many interesting and useful ways just like a quality website should.

This is a very credible website. Not only is the name scholastic very well know

Web Site Critic Colum:
This is a fantastic website for teachers. It has lots of resources specifically for new teachers which would really be helpful when you are just starting your career as a teacher. I would love to remember this website and use it to help direct me in a specific direction. I would also recommend this website to other teachers. It is so nice to have a website where all these teaching resources are listed in one place. You don’t have to Google each individual theme and sort through thousands of possible responses, you have a list of places to go that have already been tested and approved and it makes it all so much easier. I would give this website an A+.
