	Web English Teacher A+Award Mark's ESL World Thank you for your time and for your hard work in building this valuable resource. David F. Warlick The Landmark Project Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Good Housekeeping Site of the Day Thanks! Will try to use it soon. I feature the educational ones on Fridays. I've scheduled it for 10/07/05. Here's a copy of the feature draft: October 07, 2005 Newton's Castle Our friends at ThinkQuest, the site that awards postings to student developed sites in their Library, have informed us of a recent addition, Newton's Castle. Newton's Castle is 'a fun filled educational adventure into the life and legend of Sir Isaac Newton.' As Newton himself said, "If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." Now you too can stand on the shoulders of this giant by taking this 'stimulating journey' into his revelations. "Learn about his discovery of Gravity and Optical Theories. Learn why cars roll uphill, why dogs chase cars. . ." After you've finished your tour of the Castle be sure to take the quiz for a preview of the Museum of Modern Art opening. Be forewarned, it's not the crip quiz that it appears to be! Appreciate your thinking of us. I do the student/children sites on Fridays. The teachers will love this one! Best Gail O'Quin www.4kids.org Dear Steve, Thank you for your email. I will send your link to the team that reviews links for upcoming 4Kids publications. Keep up the great work! Sincerely, Melanie Bacon K95.5 Internet Minute - November 28, 2005 Planet Science Hi there, Thanks very much for letting us know about this - it is certainly something we can feature as a recommended website of the week. Thanks again for the recommendation, Alison 10 Things You Can Do on the Net This Week. Hello Steve, Thank you for the recommendation and congratulations on the outstanding site. We will definitely feature it in an upcoming "10 Things." By the way, I was born in the Bronx and attended the H.S. of Science---an Internet hotbed! Regards, Michael Lerner Learn the Net Steve, Thank you for the suggestion. I like the way you tie art and science together with your students. I will include your site in an upcoming Cyberbee Web Pick. Your site is Cyberbee's Web Pick for November 1. Thanks, Linda Joseph Adventures of Cyberbee National Science Teachers Association Science Resources George Lucas Education Foundation Hi and thanks for your email. I have forwarded it on to the person who prepares our "resources and opportunities" section of the newsletter. Best, Roberta Furger Editor, Edutopia News ====================================================== OPPORTUNITIES and RESOURCES ====================================================== 7. Newton's Castle Students can learn about Earth's rotation, optical illusions, logic puzzles, color, and more at this interactive Web site dedicated to the discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton. The site, which also offers thought-provoking questions for teachers or students to use to foster further discussion, was created by the students at John F. Kennedy High School, in the Bronx, in collaboration with kids at England's Thomas Hepburn School. Though the site content is geared toward middle schoolers and high schoolers, it offers plenty of interesting facts and puzzles for older minds, too.

I will link to it after Hurricane Wilma and power restoration! Thank you for your good wishes and concern regarding Hurricane Wilma. We had no loss of life, thank G-d, but did sustain some damage...nothing that can't be fixed, though. What a humongous mess! The schools in Broward County have been closed for two weeks and will reopen tomorrow. There are still many thousands of people without power but, every day, there is more progress. Now that power has finally been restored here, I was just sitting down to work on adding links! Congratulations on your Cyberbee Pick of the Month and Earth Science Site of the Week. Your site has now been added to our links. Please check it out here. Thank you, again, for informing me of your site. Continued success... Freda J. Glatt, President Sandral Sensations, Inc. "Together Everyone Achieves More" Learning is For Everyone What a lovely site, Mr. Feld! I'm happy to recommend it. I read both Edutopia and Earth Science Site of the Week, and share them on LIFE Inc., and I usually mine them for great gems like your site, but somehow I missed Newton's Castle last week! Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'll also feature it, after Global Education Week, as a web pick on our main page. Thanks again, and all the best to you! Terri Willingham LIFE Inc.

Mad Physics Dot Com Hello, Your website seems like great fun and would make an excellent addition to our link page. I hope you have enjoyed Mad Physics Dot Com as well. Feel free to link to it from your site. I thought that if your students had any questions they could ask Mad Physics and we could put posts on our respective sites about it. That's one idea, but I'd love to hear more from you. Cheers, Afrooz Family Editor-in-Chief Online Teachers' Resource Network Steve, Thanks for the link. I have added it to our Students Sites. Regards, Mark O'Brien Mac's Pick of the Week Hi Steve I had a look at your site and have bookmarked it for a Pick of the Week award. It is well done and shows the many things Children (and some of us Older folk as well - lol) should know. You can, if you wish, also have a link back to my site, but there is absolutely NO obligation to do so. You didn't know you would be picked or indeed, even considered, as a Pick of the Week, so though I appreciate any links to my site, there is absolutely no obligation on your part to make one. You are, and will remain, one of Mac's Picks of the Week for this week, and in my appropriate archive page for one year. smile Thank you for the time taken in maintaining your site, and may your fortunes increase and your web presence grow. Thank you for your submission and best wishes to you and the others who contribute to this site. I will notify you when it has been made a Pick of the Week. Thanks again.
