Yahoo! Teacher’s Site Launched

Posted by Ben on April 06, 2007

Yahoo! just launched the Yahoo! Teacher’s website that we developed for them. The most interesting part of the site is the school map used to register teachers under the Peer Network section of the site. We used the Yahoo! Map API to plot the Great Schools data on it. Learned a lot about the Yahoo! Map api to create custom markers and did some interesting AJAX techniques to keep the right list of schools in sync with the map. If I have some time, I’ll write another post on some of the techniques we used. Take a look and let us know what you think.

    Thanks Ben! The Yahoo! Teachers site looks great. Teachers at the National Science Teacher Association (NSTA) conference in St. Louis were the first to see the site and they loved it!

    I’d like to invite any and all teachers to come join Yahoo! Teachers and sign up for an invite! We will be launching Yahoo! Teachers this summer, so come join us!

    Thanks again Ben!

    Cheers!
