As more and more schools gain accesstothe
Internet, teachers and students are discovering
waysto learn about agriculture online. This special
section of Notesis designed to identify some ofthe
newest, best, and most interesting websites.
Web Site Offers links to
Many
Ag-Related Sites
The Internetcan beawonderful wayto learn about
agriculture. But it can be difficulttofind all theweb
sites that includeagricultural information.
One excellent resource isAg-Links, aweb site
that includes links to many ag-related home pages.
From the Chicago Board ofTradetotheTexas
Beef Council and from the University ofCalifornia
SustainableAgriculture Research and Education
Program totheAmerican Crop ProtectionAssocia-
tion, thisweb site is a great placeto start learning
more about agriculture.
The links areorganized into seven categories:
general agriculture: farms, ranches and companies;
associations; markets; magazines and newsletters;
government: and research and education. Many
stateAg in the Classroom home pages can be
accessed through thisweb site.

Take a “Virtual Tour”
As school budgets become more and more limited,
field trips are often thefirstthings to be eliminated.
Butteachers and studentswith access tothe
Internet can take“virtual tours” of many agriculture-
related facilities.
Forexample, the UtahAITC web site offers a

USDA Scientists Offer Lab
Experiments for High

What if USDA research scientists couldvisit high

studentsdevelop experiments? Thanks tothe
Internet, they can. Asite maintained by USDA’s
Agricultural Research Service offers a series of
experimentsthatwill help young scientists learn
more aboutseed germination, relative humidity,
and radiantenergy.
Each experiment includes information on the
grade level forwhich it is appropriate, subject
areas, teaching objectives, materials needed, and
thetime involved in conducting the experiment.
Background information, step-by-step instructions
on conducting the experiment, and research
references are also included.

5 Ways to Improve Your
Home Page
Whetheryou’recreating a home page on the
Internet or looking to improve an existing web site,
you will be interested in thesetips from Debra
Spielmaker, statecontact for UtahAg in the
Classroom:
1. Make surethe information is useful toteachers.
Before you gotothetrouble of putting
information on theweb, ask if it’s something
teachers can use.Askthe samequestion when
you’re creating links between your home page
and otherwebsitesthatdeal with agriculture.
“My home page is specifically designed to make
it easy forteachers to incorporate information
about agriculture intotheirday-to-dayteaching,”
Spielmaker says.
2. The sameadvicethat appliesto yourdesktop
appliestoyour home page-keep cluttertoa
minimum. “When people see your home page,
they should have avery clear ideaofwhatyour
organization does,” Spielmakeradvises. “They
can’tdothat ifthey havetowadethrough too
much information.” For example, ask yourself
whethereveryonewhovisits your home page
needs to seethe names of yourboard
members. Perhaps you could create a linktitled
“About Our State’sAg in the Classroom
Program”foranyonewhowas interested.
3. Make it easyfor peopletocontact you. In
addition to your e-mail address, makesure you
include atelephone and mailing address.
4. If you are going to use yourweb siteto sell
materials, makesure you provide all the
information people needto order. “This is one
lesson learned from experience,”Spielmaker
I
says. Do you accept purchase orders? Credit
cards? Isthere a shipping and handling
charge? Teachers, who do not have much time,
need all this information beforethey order.
5. Provide linksto otherAg in the Classroom sites.
“Chances are, someonewho is interested in
what Utah’sAITC program is doing would also
be interested in finding out moreabout other
states,” Spielmakersays. “I hopethat in the
nearfuture, all stateAg in the Classroom
programs will have web sites-and we’ll all be
linked to each other.”
