"I shall mention this site in my weekly web column GUNTERS WEB in our
local newspaper. Thanks for this site." Steve Gunter
"Took a look at your pages for busy teachers and laud your effort to make a
streamlined presentation of useful information." Alan Cairns
Super Job! I commend the excellent job you have done structuring and presenting your links. Truly beautiful. The Web will continue to amaze as long as generous (ambitious and expert) souls like you continue to
donate their work for the public good. ...With your permission, I'd like to use your page as a model with my upcoming class on Netscape and K12 at the U of Wisconsin grad school of Library and Info Science. ... Thanks again for the wonderful example you've set, each of us making things a bit better with our talents." Bob Koechley
"I have included an announcement of your site in our K-12 What's Newpage on Web66: URL:http://web66.coled.umn.edu/ I hope that's OK!" Stephen E. Collins Web66 Webmaster
"How about adding resources for Spanish teachers for 7th and 8th graders? What you're doing is great. Keep it up and thanks in advance." Barbara Reno
"I thought your lessons to be very interesting and I am going to download
them as soon as I can get into the lab. I'm a Cal Poly, Pomona student. I
have been teaching for three years and I love the ideas you collected. Thanks for putting it all on the Internet so that I could see different lessons being taught in easier, fun ways." Laureen
"This is wonderful!!!!!! As a new teacher, sixth grade math Brick Town,
N.J., I just found a massive amount of new lessons for my students. Each lesson is going to make a great one. I can see my students learning by doing from all of them. I am on cloud nine! It is super to find a source where teachers share their great ideas. I can't wait to try these lessons out." Anonymous user, Rutgers University
"Very Useful Site! I have a son in the 5th grade ... perhaps his teacher could use a lot of the info!" Krishnan Chittur
"LOVE IT! Saw it in the NCSA What's New area. It's in my list of favorite sites now. My wife is a high school English teacher and I've been running across the same problems...one link leads to another which references the first link again...that sort of stuff. The other teachers are starting to ask me about things on the Net. I like the way you've got it by subject area." Michael Schemer
"Hi Carolyn, You've done a wonderful job with your K-12 teacher's resource
page, which I just saw in today's Mosaic What's New listing. I will be sure to let some teacher friends know of this site." David
Baldwin
"Carolyn, I like your "Busy Teachers" site a lot. I think that internet education has unlimited possibilities." Alou Macalou
"Excellent source for staff. keep up the fine work." Gerry Dougall
"Thank for creating such a useful page for teachers (Web site for Busy Teachers). I think you've succeeded in delivering an interesting and useful list of links for teachers." Berit Erickson
"Praise the Lord! I've FINALLY found you! I just KNEW that something like this must exist by now, but haven't had the time to look. :-}" Debbie
"I just wanted to say thank you for creating such an incredibly useful Web site!! I am in my last semester in English Education (9-12), and this site is helping me find the info I need to survive (and graduate)." Jennifer
"Saw your busy teachers' page and liked it very much so visited your Q&A
page. Noted that you are working on integrating your rich
experience in the helping professions "with the emerging electronic technologies" and was prompted to write offering the cooperation of the GC EduNET Project if you come up with a project that can't be accommodated by the gatech Web site. In any case, we hope to maintain a link to your busy teacher site. Nice work." Frank Lowney, The GC EduNET
Project
NEATO! "I love the "Busy Teacher's Web site". Any plans on providing
links/e-mail lists of teachers on the net? This looks like a great resource and quite a bit of work on your part, thanks! I am a High School Science teacher in
NW Indiana and am always on the lookout for new and exciting stuff. Also
would love to get involved in working relationships with other teachers." Jay
Drew
"Hi! Super work and a good idea. ...Keep your ideas coming!! Enjoyed the background bio on you!! Charlie Xintaras, ScD, ATSDR Science Corner"
"We've added a link from Brighton HighSchool (http://www.roccplex.com/bhs) to
your page; nice job!" Nelson Lopatin
"I just wanted to let you know that I think that this is a great idea.
I'm aspiring to be a K-6 teacher, and this is really great for me, in
terms of getting ideas, looking up resources, etc. I've been looking for
something like this ever since I went internet. So, I just wanted to say
"great idea", and "thanks". Student at Cal. State University, Long
Beach
"This looks like it's going to be a great resource. Just wondering
if you could cut the pictures in the TofC. Pictures are nice and pretty but they sure do increase the downloading time and unless they are really necessary, I would just as soon do without them. When they actually contribute to my understanding of something, I love them, but remember, we are busy teachers and would appreciate quick downloads (without having to switch back and forth from textonly to text+graphics
formats). Thanks for listening to my pet peeve." jkc
"Carolyn, I checked out your site today and placed a link to it on our teacher page for
resources. Your descriptions for each site are very good and you have done some nice cherry picking of good sites. The only thing I could add is that you have fairly large (bytes) size pages. Since most of the few schools online have 9.6k modems and less it will be difficult for many to down load your pages." Tom Sewell, Taylor Rd. Middle School,
Alpharetta, GA
Editor's note: The Busy Teachers'
Web site contained 300+ annotated links in 19 Subject Areas when this
note was received on November 2nd (and the one directly above received
just a few days prior). This meant that the page design should change to
accommodate downloading (by busy teachers!). A leaner design was put
into place on Nov 17, 1995. Feedback does work!
"I am very impressed by this information. I intend to share it with the
teachers at my school, Hawthorne Elem. in Baltimore County, Maryland. I
am planning to begin Internet training after Thanksgiving. I am the
librarian." Lois P.
"Contratulations for a job well done. Short message to document my
presence at your site. It was a very educational experience. Here in San
Juan. Puerto Rico I also promote the use of Internet as an educational
tool." F Jimenez, Puerto Rico 11.27.95

"I am a student at Washington State University. I am currently
working on a research paper detailing WWW sites for secondary
English teachers. I am going to then turn the paper into an article
and submit it to the NCTE "English Journal." Your page will get rave reviews in my article. Jay J. 12.9.95
"How about adding a subject for Music? This would be great especially
for K." Anonymous 12.12.95
"Wow ! What a great resource for teachers! Thanks for all your hard
work." Caroline C. 12.14.95
"...Split your index into grade level divisions. I know this
will at least triple the work, but as an upper high school teacher, I
have no use for the stuff for anything below 9th grade level. Elementary
teachers only would want to wade through material which is age- and
readiness level- appropriate.
"Thanks for your hard work. I'll be sending several of my colleagues
from other areas to browse your index." T.R. 12.16.95
"Thanks for all the great lesson plans. I am attempting to put together an
integrated Kentucky History curriculum for intermediate grades. I
wonder if anyone you know has ever tried to do that for their class.
I will be coming back to this site frequently." K.H.12.18.95
"I visited your web page, and I was disappointed that you did not provide any links for foreign languages. I am a high school Spanish teacher in Georgia. This is only my second year of teaching; therefore, I am always looking for useful resources." Pam 12.24.95
"I am a biology teacher in S.D. and have been on line for about a year. I ... am absolutely thrilled with the info you have at your site for me . I wanted to send a very big THANK YOU for all of your good work." R. 12.29.95
"WOW!! I work for the Academic Assistance Center on America
Online....this is a true find. Thank you!!" Robin 1.2.96
"Why nothing for music teachers?" Harold A. 1.3.96
"I am very disappointed to see that it only covers college and university and financial aide resources. What about career guidance and counseling and school-to-work resources?" William W. 1.6.96
"My wife and I are both educators and love your page. She really loves
all of the elementary stuff. However, I teach chemistry and physics. Could
you possibly add physical science to the list.
"Thanks a bunch. Keep up the great work." Richard H. 1.12.96
To anyone who has managed to get this far. (Congratulations!! You deserve an award.) I stopped adding feedback at this point due to the volume of the feedback and my time. If, for some reason this is important to you, feel free to contact me.
