General comments:

1. Best thing -- Good materials and training on subjects I may not be knowledgeable in. Many times I have to teach something I may not have personal experience with, and as a 1st year teacher, that is a big help!
   
   
2. I like the overall format and ease of use. The length of the lessons and follow-up quizzes is appropriate. The selection of lessons is great....Thank you for this service.
   
   
3. I like how the site is organized and the broad range of topics. It's also easy for me to give students makeup work while they are at home. Some of the younger students have a difficult time with content and reading level (grades 6/7).
   
   
4. I really like the variety of topics ... students at the high school level really like being able to have options, and I frequently give them choices of lessons in order to better customize their education to their personal interests.
   
   
5. It's a very good source of information to use in unit lesson plans, or daily outlines. I like the search feature when I'm surfing for material.
   
   
6. I like the Ag issues for speaking topics.
   
   
7. I love having a variety of topics. There are a lot of things that you can incorporate into any lesson.
   
   
8. I really enjoy the opportunity to utilize the large database that AgEdNet has to offer. Utilizing the many lesson plans as an additional resource to maximize learning in a certain subject matter is very helpful for a busy ag teacher. Giving the diversity of the agriculture industry and what information you have to offer in a very accessible package, I really don't have any major suggestions that could improve your services that are made available to ag teachers.
   
   
9. I find AgEdNet.com an up-to-date reliable resource and curriculum for my Ag Education program. I have avoided purchasing textbooks and using the AgEdNet.com as resources and information for my classes and for student reading. It is a great source for substitute teachers for classroom assignments or PowerPoint presentations.
   
   
10. I like its uniformity from lesson to lesson.
    
    
11. Great resource for my class lessons.
    
    
12. Good diversity of lessons.
    
    
13. I find the lessons very useful. They are the right length and provide good information.
    
    
14. I like the notes page on each lesson topic.
    
    
15. I like how each lesson has a few pages of information pertaining to it.
    
    
16. The information that is given has an upper level science content which is very good.
    
    
17. I use this site daily to help support lecturing & examples. I really like this web site.
    
    
18. Topics are relevant.
    
    
19. [What I like:] Timeliness of material. Flexibility of having 25 students on same material @ reasonable cost. Timing drills on Crosswords. Ease of use for substitutes. Hyperlinked photos.
    
    
20. [I like] the updated material that comes in from all over the world, lesson library, quizzes, teachers guide, etc. ... website is very helpful to our program.
    
    
21. Quick way to find information and review the websites given at the end of the lessons.
    
    
22. I like the way that the facts are put out there and the main points are made without going on and on. The students seem to really enjoy the readings because they maintain their interest.
    
    
23. The majority of the lessons complement my textbooks and/or CDE materials. It is very easy to fill in my lessons plans with AgEdNet.com lessons on a busy week.

1. I love the interactive crossword puzzles, power points etc. ... It saves me so much time having the PowerPoints completed already by your company. A goal of mine is to use even more of your website next year (daily quizzes, issues etc).
   
   
2. The crossword puzzles are a wonderful tool, and can be made into quizzes.... It has been a lifesaver to have this program available. I was thrown into the ag teaching position with two week's notice this past January. There were no course outlines, no record of what had been covered except ill kept notebooks, and was a daunting proposition, trying to start ...somewhere...and get these kids learning. Though I don't know all the different aspects where this website could have helped, (it was hard enough just getting ready for the 5 different classes each day, taking a college course, and caring for my two kids, so there wasn't time left for exploring), being able to access this and have at least a beginning for my classes, along with the vast information on the web was what kept me going. Thank you.
   
   
3. The power points are a good summary of the lesson. I actually copy the lesson (hope that is ok) and then I have the students underline and hi-lite the information before doing the worksheets. This has been a great help to those that do not read well or comprehend well. They follow along as we do the power points and then the worksheet and crossword allows us to test their comprehension. For those that have the serious reading problems it has seemed to be a very big help. We discuss the PowerPoints and expand on them as we go along. All students have the password and Id to use at home, however, the classwork that we do in small groups seems to help the most.
   
   
4. I like the crossword puzzles, worksheets, etc and the internet sites that I can go to while teaching and show the students more up-to-date information. The PowerPoints are also helpful in the teaching process. Your information is very useful for substitute teachers and it easy for them to use and follow.
   
   
5. I think it is a great resource! I use it often for reference material. The PowerPoints and crosswords are great, especially in a pinch! I appreciate the thoroughness of the subjects covered.
   
   
6. [I like the] lesson plans, especially with crossword puzzles and PowerPoints that can be used for class. News often can directly relate to information being taught in the classroom.
   
   
7. I like that it is somewhat difficult for my students to find the answers to the test questions and the crossword puzzles. They actually have to read and think about many of the questions in order to answer them. These assignments provide a challenge for my students.
   
   
8. I enjoy the exercise applications along with crossword puzzles. It is great for substitutes.
   
   
9. What I like best is the extra support it gives me on any topic. Especially the PowerPoint features to the lessons.
   
   
10. It is quick, self-explanatory and the PPTs are short.
    
    
11. I like the PowerPoints when they are available.
    
    
12. I really like using assessments off of the site. The PowerPoints are good.
    
    
13. I love the PowerPoints and crossword puzzles.
    
    
14. The PowerPoints and the lesson info are up to date.

1. I feel the AgEd Today news is one the most important things I do in my classes. I copy the daily AgEd Todays and students read these for "bell work" while I take care of attendance, backwork, handbacks, etc. Then we briefly discuss each story before moving into the day's lesson. I have block classes which allow me to do this. Most weeks we use the Friday PowerPoint review (I Read That) and the quiz.... I like the mix of stories.
   
   
2. I like AgEd Today best. It is a way to bring current agriculture to my students and helps them to see agricultures impact on their lives. The lessons are good, especially with the student activities and tests at the end of each lesson.
   
   
3. I utilize the AgEd Today on a daily basis in my senior Ag Business Management class. I give a weekly test, as well as a nine-week and semester test on portions of the information. I like the fact that it includes current news on local, regional, national, and international topics. I also like the lesson plans that supplement about every area taught in an agriculture education program. They make excellent lessons to enhance the subject area being taught. They also stand alone for those short "mini-lessons" taught when time is not sufficient to begin a new subject area or for substitute teacher lesson plans when I am absent.
   
   
4. It is up-to-date material and easily accessed. I really like the daily news.
   
   
5. AgEd Today is the best.

1. It is easy to access and has a lot of information for the teachers and to use with the students.
   
   
2. The ease of the program for all users is well done and a student that is absent may be assigned a task.
   
   
3. It is easily accessible for my students. Great for sub plans!
   
   
4. I like the fact that everything is there, I can print the material and start teaching. I don't have to make tests and answer keys -- it's all done for me.
   
   
5. AgEdNet.com is a very easy system to use, not only for me as an instructor, but also for my substitutes and my students.
   
   
6. BEST -- the convenience
   
   
7. [What I like:] convenience and ease.
   
   
8. It is convenient and covers quite a variety of topics. I can use it easily in class with printouts, individual students on computers, or with a large projector in the classroom. Makes a good resource for students looking for reports and papers on ag related topics. I also like the reference to standards.
   
   
9. I like the easy use of it.
   
   
10. Ease of use is what I like about AgEdNet.com.
    
    
11. [I like] the easy way that the information is presented. Also, the student sections that they can access, it makes it much easier when we go to the computer lab.
    
    
12. AgEdNet.com is very convenient when getting ideas for lessons.
    
    
13. Easy to get around in the different areas. I like the way the lessons are sequential.
