In recent months, the 4Teachers.org site and online tools and resources such as QuizStar, TrackStar, and RubiStar have begun to feature Google Advertising. As many of you know, 4Teachers.org was funded by a grant provided by the U.S. Department of Education. It began as an online webzine in 1995 and has grown into a site that is visited by more than 3 million educators each month and has more than 1000 resources to help integrate technology into the classroom in effective ways.

We strongly believe that teachers need high-quality free online resources that can actively engage students in the learning process. Federal funding of 4Teachers.org ended in 2005. We made the decision to allow Ads on the Web site to help raise part of the funds necessary to continue the project. Because we want to ensure that the advertising does not distract or impede classroom instruction, we would like to hear from you. If you have comments, concerns, suggestions, or if you see an advertisement that you find inappropriate, please respond to this article, we would love to hear your feedback.
