Week 3

The first thing I noticed when navigating to Han Laoshi's pages, were the extreme differences in layout/style. On the page for her previous school, she seemed to go for a much busier feel, while on her current page she went much more simplistic. She did choose to utilize a notebook-like layout for both pages. On the teacher's pages from my previous post, their means of demonstrating a schedule, were of a different nature that Han's. Whilethey simply chose to update/remove assignments in a list format as each week passed by, she chose a much more legible and reliable approach. Her use of GCal was a wise addition to her already linked and listed assignment format. Like Altman, she gave links valuable study materials, whether they be notes, flashcards, or games. Unlike most foreign language pages I've browsed through. Han makes a point to make sure her students understand how to insert chinese symbols into a typed document. This too, demonstrates her desire to integrate technology in the classroom. I personally prefer Han's most recent page, due to its simplicity. The original page was a tad too busy for me. While this one includes the exact same information, it does so in a much more functional manner. I also like the way she separated her class periods/grade levels on the side of the page, and then specifies it again in within her calendar. She also provides resources for parents in both sites. Both of her pages are FAR better than Mrs. Faiella's page, and a tad more detailed than Mrs. Altman's page. All-in-all, I'd say her teacher's pages are very well put together.
