I’ve been asked to do a short WebQuest workshop. It’s been a while since I have done much with WebQuests, but I thought I’d use this blog as a starting point for my participants.

Thanks Becky. This was very timely. I also showed blogging for this session and I think students really appreciated this connectedness and immediate response. It’s great to see someone not connected in any way to this workshop leave comments in such a way … it’s really an amazing way of looking at education and the global village. Thanks again!
