After looking through several websites for Leon county schools I realized access to these websites is pretty limited without a student number. The only things I was able to see without an access code were the name of the teacher, subject, and classroom number. I really loved the way that Lincoln Hugh School set up their websites. Each course has a posted "expectation sheet". This includes the main composition, required readings, and even a citation from the textbook. This was similar to a syllabus. I think this is helpful information when students are making decisions on what classes to register for next.
One way that I plan on using technology in my classroom is through the use of apps. The book discusses several measures for using apps in administrative tasks. Google Doc is something I love using now and I didn't know there was an app for it. This would be an easy way to post class test statistics, and a master calendar. I also am the queen of making to do lists and losing them. This causes me to forget what I wrote, or writing things twice. This would be an easy way for not only my personal checklist, but a class checklist as well.

This web evaluation assessment made me realize how detail oriented great websites are. I never really payed much attention to these details before I did this assignment. I like the collaboration aspect of the wiki, but I honestly hate the formation of the site in general. In just sort of looks confusing, and I'm so used to basic Google doc. I think I will use this in the future by collaborating with other teachers in my department on sharing valuable web sources for relevant information. Next time I could make a much more detailed survey. I now know what to be looking for in a good website
