  2. Troubleshooting & Search Problems

    Q. I'm having difficulty with the Education World site. How can I get help? How come my searches aren't working as I hoped?

    A. If you are an AOL user, try visiting our AOL Problems Page - this page describes common problems our AOL users have.

    If you can't find a page or would like to give us feedback on a problem or concern, please fill out our User Feedback Form, and let us know. We will get right back to you with an updated URL.

    If you are having trouble with our search tool, please read the following guidelines:

    Education World features a powerful search engine, with more than 110,000 education-specific links. You can access its information in three ways:

    General Search
    You can search for resources using keywords. Just type the word (or words) of the subject you are looking for (example: Abraham Lincoln) into the search box at the top of our home page, or any other page on our site.

    This is a basic search tool that sometimes requires refinement (if you receive too many, not enough, or no listings). If you don't receive enough information perhaps your query was too specific. For example, instead of typing "arithmetic", try typing "math".

    Browse By Category
    If you still are having trouble, try using our Browse By Topic section. This section contains a category tree which contains over 6,000 education-speicific topics. All 110,000 links found via keyword search are also listed within these categories.

    Advanced Search
    Education World's Advanced Search feature allows you to perform highly customized queries. As with the basic search, you supply space-separated keywords in the box and click the search button. However, Advanced Search provides additional controls useful for refining your results:

     

    Scope -- By default, advanced searches are applied against the scope of all EdWorld topics. However, if you perform an advanced search after navigating to a particular level of the EdWorld Topic hierarchy, you will have the option to search against that topic alone.

    Against -- You may apply your Advanced Search keywords against titles, or descriptions, or both. You must choose at least one!

    Display -- You select the types of resources to display. Hint: The Reviewed Resources checkbox, if used, must be used in conjunction with one or more additional resource types.

    Age of Link -- You may direct Advanced Search to weed out those resources that may be out of date.

    Grade Level -- You may restrict your results to a select set of grade levels.

  3. Updating Info on Your Web Site

    Q. The information for my Web site listing is wrong/needs to be updated. What do I do?

    A. We greatly appreciate updates to listings so we can keep our database as current as possible. Please fill out the form at: http://www.educationworld.com/contact/update_site.shtml

  4. Distribution Lists

    Q. Are Education World's Distribution Lists free? What will happen if I join any of them?

    A. YES, they are FREE!

    The Education Site Reviews Distribution List will send you one 2-part email newsletter per month, on or around the first of every month. In these messages you will be able to read reviews and descriptions of our Top 20 Picks of quality Education Sites online.

In these messages you will find the the latest education jobs posted at Education World, their descriptions, and contact information.
