Innovation Lab Review
When looking through Gottfried's website, it seems that her audience are fellow teachers who are interested in helping students advance their writing skills and provide a practical project that can be used outside of school. I was quite interested in reading through her different pages because the graphics made it easy to follow. I also think blogging is a great way to support students collaboration skills and so from one educator to another, I felt that her website was effective in presenting to that audience.
I was thoroughly impressed with Saelee's website. I felt that her audience were other math educators who were struggling to see why they're students were not obtaining the necessary skills to apply their learning. I am terrible at math and it is definitely not my subject, but I still was interested in the statistics and the resources. The resources spread out, categorized and explained the way they were made it very easy to recognize how and why they might be useful in the classroom. I also thought there was a huge amount of articles and books to read over. I would share this page with the math teachers in my school who I think would definitely find it useful.
I also really loved going through Ellison's website because it really does have me officially hooked on wanting to try to take my whole Harry Potter classroom to a whole next level with gamification. The resources provided made it easy for me to figure how I can set this up and personalize it to fit my style. Throughout the site, she does keep referencing teachers and speaking directly toward us. This is why I think this website was geared toward other teachers as well. I'm starting to see a pattern with the audience but think that while the teachers are the ones going over this information, it's the students who are benefiting from it.
Finally, Avrukin's website was also geared toward teachers as the language spoke toward how teachers can differentiate learning. While the information was valuable, I did not think that it had enough information to fully be able to adopt this as my own. I think there need to be information included to help an everyday teacher be able to use the same information in their own classroom.
