Wiggles Out
The application has a fun and eye-catching title which grabbed my attention automatically. Her description is short and straight to the point, which meant I still had all focus on the topic, and I believe this style has led to her getting a lot of donations. Her picture is very related to her topic, as it includes a photo of the children in her class. I believe the photo is able to display their personalities, which is effective in relation to what they are wanting the money for, which is balance ball chairs in her classroom. The use of a short quote is also effective in displaying the importance of active learning environments, which relates well to their cause. Even though this is a very effective donors choose site, the teacher does not really describe how these chairs will actually improve their learning, and fails to mention the fact that these chairs may actually be more of a distraction than helping them concentrate. Even though this is the case, it is still a very good donors choose page which has an eye-catching title and information which is short and sweet.
Donors Choose 2- Fire Up Our Classroom!
Very innovative and clever title due to the fact the donors choose is asking for donations to fund purchasing Kindle Fires for their classroom. The teacher also mentions the struggles that her children face due to coming from poverty-stricken homes and how this effects their learning. She uses this information to describe how important an asset the Kindles would be to the classroom. By mentioning the backgrounds of the children, donors may be more likely to donate as they are able to sympathize and consider the children’s situations. Perhaps one thing that could have been done differently may be the length of her description. It is very lengthy and very descriptive which may lead people to become disengaged and uninterested in the topic. If this was summarized more and sentences were shorter, this donors choose would be even more effective. In addition to this, the picture provided for this page isn’t related to the topic at all. The picture shows one of the classroom wall displays, however, may be more effective if the picture involved the children in her classroom, or maybe a poster they have made asking for help to buy the Kindles.
Donors Choose 3- To the Frontier!
I believe this donors choose page is very well-written. The title is short and snappy, which grabs the reader’s attention. All information included on this page is necessary and effective in increasing the likelihood of receiving donations. It mentions the need for the children to go on this trip due to their hard work, and how effective this reward will be for them. It also mentions the education benefits of this trip, which I believe was the most important aspect of this page. The page also mentions STEM learning and how this trip will benefit this. The picture on this donors choose page is also effective, as it is of the children, which emphasizes the size of the class that they have and also has them sitting far away from the camera so faces can’t be made out, which is an effective child protection measure. On the whole, I believe this Donors Choose page is very well-written and attention-grabbing, therefore I would donate to this page.
