CTCWeb Latin Mottoes Top Google Worldwide; Clueless Rejoice

Needham, MA - February 16, 2005 Clueless college students are accessing the top listing on Google to decipher their schools’ Latin mottoes, stemming a longstanding silent epidemic. Clueless alumni find the connection ends years of quiet anguish. Professors are asking: “What mottoes?” The Internet’s #1 search engine links first to the Latin mottoes on the AbleOne Education Network’s Classics Technology Center on the Web (CTCWeb, http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb). Today, AbleOne’s CTCWeb tightens its hold on Google’s top spot for Latin mottoes with the titanic addition of 614 schools mottoes to its online catalogue.

“In Google’s view, ‘Quality & Connections’ earns CTCWeb’s Latin mottoes the top slot,” said Wendy E. Owens CTCWeb Editor-in-Chief. “Because Google admires the quality of AbleOne’s educational materials and respects the larger number of high quality sites that link to our Latin mottoes and other resources, AbleOne materials routinely appear among the top five results of Google keyword searches.”

Meant to inspire students to great heights of academic excellence, universities’ mottoes often lack one thing: a translation. With CTCWeb’s extensive listing of college and university mottoes and their translations, students, professors, and alumni finally can learn what their school’s motto means. This collection adds to the large and growing number of Latin mottoes posted on CTCWeb.

Each week AbleOne’s sponsor, AbleMedia, salutes contributors for outstanding submissions to the AbleOne Consortium (http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/consortium/), the CTCWeb Showcase (http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/showcase/), and CTCWeb Netshots™ (http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/netshots.html). Each receives the Bronze Chalice award. AbleMedia awards Silver Chalices for the outstanding submissions of the month. At the end of each year, AbleMedia awards Gold Chalices for the outstanding submissions of the year.

AbleOne serves millions of educators, students, and other users in over 100 countries and the number of users is tripling annually. AbleOne’s CTCWeb is a repository of practical tools, for classicists and other educators, to enhance the use of computer technology in Classics education.
