Edutopia

Seems like an interesting website. The only thing I had an issue with was that there were too many things posted everywhere on the website. It makes it feel really cluttered. The post that people put up about teaching and questions about school from different grade level was interesting and its great that people can comment on post that other educators have put up. It is not just for teachers, parents  can look at the site as well and students. Overall, the website is good, and how can you not be surprised and happy when you see that it is funded by George Lucas? Its good to see the director join in the support for a better teaching and learning space for students of all grade levels.

Chicago Artists Resource

The website is very easy to navigate around. There is not too much being piled into the home page. I like the stories of the artists that they posted on the web site. I love that they have a space where they posted notices for upcoming events that artists can apply and submit their art works in! Very helpful, especially if we want to get noticed more as an artist. I liked that they had a place for space listing for artist's studio and etc. Pretty cool website and I think I will start to use it.
