Congratulations! Your site has won the Website 2000 Excellence Award from Gayla's Garden!
This year I am searching the net for the best web sites of 2000. I have received hundreds of applications for this award, but chosen very few. Many of the sites I have reviewed have been very good. But for this award, the standards of criteria have been raised beyond very good. A site must be original, there must be a great deal of content, it must be well written, and not just easy to navigate, but enjoyable to navigate. Pages must load quickly, yet graphical content is important. Only a maximum of 50 websites will receive this award during the year 2000. Your site has been selected as one of the 50.
Your site goes beyond very good. Your site is most worthy as a winner of the Website 2000 Excellence Award.
See your listing as a winner of this difficult to acquire award at http://www.gaylasgarden.com/winners.htm
Warmest regards,
Gayla Nelson, Webmaster

Dear Steve,
Thanks for sending me these interesting sites. I thought I already included da Vinci site. However, I discovered the site I had already listed was Exploring Leonardo. At any rate, I will add your two sites this week, both to my homework help and lesson plans sites. Would you be wiling to link to my pages on your school site? If so, let me know and I will forward you the urls.
Sincerely

Dear Steve,
I added links to the da Vinci site on both my history lesson plans page and my social studies homework help page. A link for the ArtiFAQ 2100 site has been added to my art page which is accessable from both the main index page (http://www.cloudnet.com/~edrbsass/edres.htm)and the homework help index (http://www.cloudnet.com/~edrbsass/HomeworkHelper.htm). I hope you don't mind, but I used some of the wording from your e-mail to describe the sites.
Sincerely,
Ed Sass esass@csbsju.edu

Hi Steve,
Thanks!

Dear Steve,
First, thank you so much for the interest you've shown
in Technology for Teachers! We have worked very hard
to be something all teachers can find useful.
I have to say, your message was rather timely, as I
had just recently visited your Why is the Mona Lisa
smiling site the previous week. I loved it! You've
done a wonderful job.
However, strictly speaking, your sites are not virtual
field trips.
"A Virtual fieldtrip is of an actual place, is
interactive, and multimedia. The best ones give the
illusion of actually being there (360 quicktime
pictures, video, etc) as well as offer information.
A really cool site is NOT necessarily a virtual
fieldtrip."
However, in my webjaunts, i've noticed how many truly
cool sites that are out there that are interactive,
but don't fall into the VFT category. I have been
creating an area to my site for interactive websites,
that I would be happy and honored to add your sites
to.
Lastly, you are welcome to join us at TappedIn, an
online teaching community. There I lead discussion
group sessions on technology in the classroom. The
next session will be the fourth in the series on
virtual field trips, and will be held on Monday,
December 11, 2000 at 8 pm EST.
Tapped In is a java based moo. There are volunteers
who run the help desk, so you will have help if you
find you need it. You can find TappedIn at
http://www.tappedin.org
I hope this has been of some help, and once again,
thank you very much for your interest and support:)!

Subject: award winning Bronx John F. Kennedy High School site - shining example!
Hi Steve,
I just did a preliminary site visit - obviously an ambitious and successful project - I have to teach
class here in TN in a few minutes and then have to run back up to the farm in VA - but I will
definitely get your site added to the list late this afternoon - with some comments about the site -
also, I am going to pass your letter and site address on to a number of my somewhat
"technically reluctant" colleagues and to some of the faculty in our various "technology
leadership programs." If you get a chance, I would ask you to visit my online physiology class
website - it is always under construction, but like your site, has won an award or two - it is at
http://de.etsu.edu/hsci3022/
Hey, thanks for the info about your great site and watch for the link-up that will appear later this
afternoon!

Dear Steve,
I am so sorry I did not get back to you sooner. I get about a hundred
emails a day and around the time you sent your message, I was swamped with
several projects. I will definitely look at your student's sites. I think
that they would be worthy additions to Bobby D's Mysterious Science. I
have made some design changes so that the navigational path within the
website is more intuitive. I would be grateful if you would revisit the
site. Maybe your students can start to use my site as a science study aid.
That party was something, eh? Well, please use my other email address to
contact me: iti2135@iti.rutgers.edu I look forward to hearing from you in
the near future. Have a great holiday season!
P.S. (URL-Bobby D's) http://iti.rutgers.edu/~iti2135/index.html
Maybe you can place a link to Bobby D's on your student's sites if you
have not done so already.
Thanks Again.

Steve, have you taken a look at my affliated site called Internet Sites that
Work with Students at http://members.home.net/dbrear/G4.html as a possible link for your site. I
have looked through your site. It is very impressive. Congrats to the students
!! Would you be linking my site with yours ? Thanks,
Dave
PS I have just finished evaluating my UBC students for the Fall session. The
last few days have been very hectic. Take a look at my school's Web site
below. What do you think ? Thanks !!

Dear Steve,
It was a pleasure meeting you! I'm glad you enjoyed the discussion.
There are not too many more sessions scheduled for December, but you
might want to take a look at the TAPPED IN calendar at
http://www.tappedin.org/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.cgi Most discussions
are archived in the After School Online room (only members can retrieve
them). I edited out most of your discussion with Donna at the end since
it didn't have much to do with the Virtual Field Trip session. However,
I can copy my recorder and send you that. I didn't see your discussion
with Donna til I did the editing this morning...and saw where you showed
the web page with your evaluation of TAPPED IN...WOW! I've talked with
Deborah quite a bit about using TAPPED IN as a vehicle for the FluidArts
project and am very excited that things are moving in that direction.
If you need more information about how to introduce TI to your students,
get student accounts, etc., I'd be happy to help.
Respectfully,
ps. I'll get out the transcript asap

Hi Steve,
Thank you for the email about your projects. We will certainly keep it in
mind for the new year.
I have placed a link to the Edulink site on the BTN LINKS page - so that
hopefully some students and teachers may find your material anytime.
Thanks again.
