The criteria we use to select sites include valuable math and/or science content, teacher appeal, clear navigational aids, and that special something. In addition to being featured in this month's Digital Dozen, your site has been included in our main listing of educational links. You may notice higher traffic to your site as a result of its greater exposure on our web pages.

Sincerely,
The Online team

1995 Best Site Award Internet World Magazine
Here's the quote: "Carolyn Cole had the same idea* in mind when she created the Busy Teachers' Web site. Like a one-stop shopping center, it allows teachers in a hurry to remember only one address, letting the links take them where they need to go. The site is graphical and well-organized, which always makes research a little less tedious." p. 37, Vol. 7, Number 1 (Jan 1996).
