Jennifer Worsham's Third Grade web site is a warm, colorful Web presence, designed expertly to invite, inform and inspire parents and students in her charge. While this site aspires to be so much more than on online class syllabus and supply list, it contains all the information a third grade family needs to find in short order. The splash page is clean and easy to navigate, offering quick-reference information and intuitive navigation options via both text and icon no matter where the visitor looks.

Jennifer is very aware that her site will be viewed by parents, teachers, and students. She successfully combines visually interesting formatting and excellent information throughout the site, displaying an awareness of all her audiences. While basic information is always good to have available, the resources and support materials in html, Acrobat and Word format make this site eminently useful to visitors. Her personal and professional background and her philosophy education add a dimension to the visitor's experience that is often missing from classroom web sites: that personal connection with the audience.

In short, this is a very well thought-out and designed web site. It is very easy to use and it is the working definition of a simple yet effective classroom site. Jennifer is especially to be commended for her obvious effort to remain consistent with the district web design. We commend this site as an example to all teachers developing their own classroom web page; keep it simple, keep it clean, keep it current and provide content users won't find anywhere else.

Kudos for an excellent site!
