WeatherEye has won awards and gained acclaim from teachers. Here are just
a few of the responses.
- Web Winner Award, National Education Association, May
1997
- Digital Dozen Award, Eisenhower National Clearinghouse
for Mathematics and Science Education
"WeatherEye's online lessons are designed to be easily integrated
into class schedules, and they put students in real-world situations,
like driving through a blizzard or being the mayor of a town threatened
by a hurricane."
- "WeatherEye is one of the best educational sites for making
students use high-level thinking skills in association with research
data. It is easy to find a lot of weather data on the Internet, but
it has always been lacking in good sites to help students understand
weather and climate. WeatherEye makes great strides in remedying this
problem." – The Linker, Newspaper published by the Grant
Wood Area Education Agency.
- My classes visited your online lesson on hurricanes last Thursday
and Friday. How exciting! This is a quality site and we had fun playing
this scenario. Thanks for such a good site. –Diane Grice, Jackson
