Sharing WebQuest Ideas

What ideas do you have for your WebQuest? How do you hook students with your introduction? What clip art could help make the introduction even more interesting? What questions do you have?

Last week we looked at the major components of the student portion of the WebQuest. Today, we'll spend a few minutes looking at the teacher portion.

Today you'll work on the first half of your WebQuest -- by Thursday's class it is expected that you will be at least halfway finished with your entire WebQuest. We will be working in pairs on Thursday to conduct peer reviews of your WebQuests.

Don't forget that you have many resources available to help you to complete your WebQuest.
