Did you know that the EPA’s Environmental Education Web Workgroup (EEWW) meets monthly to evaluate Web sites (potentially yours) to supplement the EPA’s environmental education Web content?
Per Eco Scout, it’s true as long as the site meets strict quality criteria, fills gaps in educational content, and is approved by the EEWW. |
|
Here’s the scoop on criteria and how to submit your Web site straight from the EEWW:
The EPA Environmental Education Web sites make quality environmental education materials more accessible to Kids, Middle School Students, High School Students and Teachers. The EPA’s Environmental Education Web Workgroup (EEWW) evaluates sites to determine whether they are appropriate to be included as links on EPA’s environmental education portal pages.
Read the linking criteria to determine if the site you are proposing may be included in any of the portal sites. The site will not be selected if it:
- Promotes commercial activities
- Promotes political organizations
- Engages in advocacy
- Is not fact based and neutral
