Creating Pre-K Memories: This teacher did a really good job with her page. It’s the perfect length, not too long and not too short. I read the whole thing in a few minutes. The picture of the kids was really sweet too and the high poverty fact made me want to donate. I liked this page a lot because it was reasonably priced and almost fully funded. And she described exactly what the donation would do for the kids, which was great. I don’t think she did anything wrong or bad that needs addressing. I would say that she could probably add another picture of her kids to pull on some heart-strings for donations.

Technolongy for 21st century learners: This teacher also did a good job with her description. Her item is reasonably priced and is almost fully funded. The picture of the kids is of their profiles and I think it would be more beneficial to show their full on faces to achieve the sympathy donation. Also, I think she would have benefitted from giving a specific example of what her kids do now for lessons involving technology vs what they could be doing with appropriate equipment. That might make donors choose to give especially since it’s a lower-cost goal.

Math Tool Kits: This page was least likely of the 3 to get my donation because it seemed less dire. There was no mention of high poverty circumstances, which automatically incline me to give my money where it’s needed more. Also, the things she asked for were of little cost and are probably something she could purchase herself for very little or even get by donation from parents or garage sales, even. But her picture of the kids was really cute and made me want to donate. And her page was short and to the point, so she has an overall good page that is almost fully funded.
