Dear Steve,
Why is the Mona Lisa Smiling? is still listed in print on page 16 of Classroom Connect's Fine Arts Web Guide.
As Rem Jackson explained, Why is the Mona Lisa Smiling? was a part of the online GRADES database that no longer exists. Our new database, among its many other features, has the advantage of using a Web crawler that seeks out dead and not connecting URLS. The current listing you see on our site is from our editions of A+ Yellow Pages.
We will be evaluating the archive of GRADES to see which sites are appropriate to add onto Classroom Connect's new Connected Teacher site.
As one of the Cybrarians, I can assure you that ThinkQuest sites meet our standards. So, be patient! We'll be adding to our online lists soon!
Please contact me if you have other concerns. I appreciate your feedback!
Sincerely,
Sharon Wheeler
