I really liked how you had more than one rubrics for the students. I also enjoyed the Powerpoint presentation and the video link you had. I would've linked to see a more grabbing home page, but I am a primary teacher so that might be the reason. Nice job.

* Web Design - Expert: The web page was simple and easy to find things.

* Layout - Mastery: Clear layout

* Navigation - Mastery: Easy to use since a new page open with each link.

* Graphics - Mastery: I would've liked to see more photos.

* Accessibility - Mastery: Pictures not labeled

* Fonts - Mastery: Could've use larger text to make it easier to read.

* Background - Mastery: Background simple

* Color Choices - Mastery: Could have used more colors

I really loved your introduction on the home page. I think that the paragraph about the sandbox and the building of the castle was very inspirational. I saw the directions in the lesson plan however, I would've liked to see a different link with simple step by step directions for the students. Overall I think you did a great job.
