Other LMC Websites

Here is a list of other media center websites I have visited and reviewed.  I found it to be more difficult to find useful media center websites.  For every 5 websites I viewed, only 1 decent website would be found.  It is hard to believe with the Internet being such a popular communication outlet that so many sites would be poor.  I believe that as a great media specialist, it is imperative to have an updated and useful site for students, parents, and teachers.

Here is the list of websites that I reviewed.  The last one is the one that I found to be the best and the one that I elaborated on.

1. Moreland Elementary, Coweta County, GA
- All Coweta schools are completed through a common server with links to various sites…no discussions

2.     Fillmore Elementary- Oklahoma City Schools
- Same common layout as Coweta. 

3.     Anne Frank Elementary- Dallas, TX 
- Great information…love the virtual tour at the beginning of login.  Grade level information also.

4.     Peachtree City Elementary, Fayette County, GA
- Website is very informational and easy to access.

5.     Bryant Elementary, Seattle, WA
- Great informational site with author’s visiting and lots of updated information.

6.     Shelby County High School, AL
- A lot of information, not organized in a manner that made sense to me.  LMS's information was at the bottom of the page.   


7.  Wrights Mill Road Elementary, Auburn, AL
- Great links and information listed on this website.  I am not a fan of the lay out of the site.

8.  Avondale Elementary, Dekalb County, GA
- I like how when you go to this media center's homepage there is an option to choose between student and teacher resources.

9.  Kennesaw Elementary, Cobb County, GA
- This site has links on the right hand side for navigating, but also includes themes for the months in the school year.

10. North Elementary, IN
- This website has a lot of helpful information and is set up in a way that is easy to access and understand.  The information located on this website is helpful for everyone including teachers, parents, and students.  The website does not leave any confusion as to what is included and helps site visitors get a clear picture as to what is included.  The grade level resources are helpful for both teachers and parents.  This is a site that I could see any school visitor using and is also a place where individuals who are not familiar with the school would gain useful information.
