This poster was divided up into three columns. Each column was a different online site whereby one can research and find different lesson plans. Two of the three columns were filled in with mandatory sites to be researched and the third was open to our discretion. The two mandatory sites were; the TESSA website and www.lessonplanspage.com. The third site that was decided on by the group was www.teacherspayteachers.co.za. The group was then expected to go onto these websites and judge what was good as well as what could be better. The TESSA website’s advantages were the fact that it was easily accessible and had a very good search feature however the website did not come without some disadvantages. These are the fact that the website doesn’t cater for a lot of different subjects namely Accounting, the website it quite confusing as there isn’t a lot of information on how to use the site, and finally another disadvantage would be that the website’s design is not very appealing to the eye. The www.lessonplanspage.com website is in actual fact quite a good one as you can narrow your search, share your lesson plans, the website has a good navigation bar and it is available in different countries. The disadvantages to this website would be the fact that only American content is available, the content available is quite
