ways you can contact your team members. You can use your

team leader for this project and will post any group projects for the entire
team. Remember to email your instructor with any questions. Rebecca McIntyre

sticky at think.com.

The Connected Classroom. Use steps one through six for your next
assignment.

team will individually evaluate these six Webquests. You will use
this form to record your findings. Save form to your desktop. After you
have evaluated your sites place your form on

has had an opportunity to see all the sites, get together and discuss your
top choices. As a group you will decide on the two best sights. Make

understanding of Webquests. You may have determined that there is no "erfect"
Webquest. You have seen some that are good and some that are not so good. So
now It is your turn to create a Webquest of your own. Think of a topic you
would think would be good to research. Go to the
WebQuest Design Map - Click on links inside the design map. This shows
you one example of how to organize your own Webquest.

your Webquest. Go to think.com and post stickys' about your ideas. Give us a
