Some Sample Web Sites and Pages
Here are some samples of student web sites and pages. They
are not necessarily exemplary sites. It is important to note that there
may be an ambiguous line between a site that simply provides instruction
or description and a site that truly leads the user toward the solution
to a problem.
-
"Mary Lou's
Math Maneuvers" provides instruction that arises from problems that
students typically have with math facts.
-
"Beamer Park
Elementary School" began as a project about the problems of language
acquisition but developed into a more general site about the school. To
make this an exemplary site, the research should be tied together in the
form of leading questions with direction toward further research or possible
solutions.
-
"The Help Desk"
is useful to all who are perplexed by simple problems with Macintosh computers
and related peripherals and software. It serves its purpose well. The teacher
who created this site was committed to helping people solve problems themselves.
-
"Ms. Parker's
American Revolution Page" addresses several problems students were
facing in her history classes. It's instructional, but it deals with a
problem many students have particularly as they use the web for research
at home.
-
"ROP
Computer Systems Management" is a site that has changed from its original
problem/solution format. In its current state, it is simply descriptive.
However, this was at one time a site where the instructor lead his students
through lessons associated with numerous problems regarding hardware and
software and the network at Golden Sierra High School. Interestingly, students
in this class were fascinated with the web site their teacher created and
restructured it for him after he completed Ed. TE 233. It has now become
the description for the ROP course. Web sites do evolve.
