Congratulations on being chosen as a Teacher Tool of the Week at the Elementary School Educators site at About.com! You have been selected for the section where I highlight only the most useful, innovative, and time-saving tools for K-6 teachers.
The About.com network of sites is currently the ninth largest property on the entire web, so I hope that a listing on my site will bring substantial hits and recognition to your valuable resource.
Here are a few of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about being a part of our listing:
Q. How are web sites selected for the Teacher Tools of the Week listing?
A. My name is Beth Lewis and I am the Guide to Elementary School Educators at About.com. I scour the web, looking for the best web sites for K-6 Educators. Many of them make it into my Subject pages. Only the most innovative and useful tools are selected for the Teacher Tools of the Week section. I try to limit the chosen tools to resources that are free to teachers and relatively easy to use.
Q. What are some of the benefits of being a Teacher Tool of the Week?
A. Besides helping to make many teachers' lives easier, the main benefit is increased recognition and publicity for your unique resource or product. As a part of About.com, the ninth largest web property on the Internet, this listing can really help to get your site noticed. Your site is announced on the front page of my site and also in my Chalk Talk newsletter.
Q. Do I have to put the "We're an About.com Teacher Tool of the Week" code onto my page?
A. It is not required in order to be included on the Teacher Tool of the Week listing. However, the code and small image were especially designed to be an easy way for participating sites to publicize this award and direct visitors to their listing.
Q. How do I add the code?
A. Use your mouse to highlight the code that was emailed to you. Then, go to "Edit/ Copy." Next, go to your HTML editor and put your mouse where you would like the code to go. Then, go to "Edit/ Paste" to insert the code into your web page. That's it!
Q. What if I change the address of my web page?
A. In order to remain on the Teacher Tool of the Week listing, you will need to keep us updated on your site's URL. The entire Elementary School Educators site is regularly searched for dead and broken links. If your site moves, it will be removed from the listing, unless an updated URL has been sent to Beth Lewis.
Again, congratulations on your selection as a Teacher Tool of the Week. Welcome to the About.com community!
Sincerely,
Elementary School Educators Guide
