Web Quest theory & practice
http://edweb.sdsu.edu/webquest/taskonomy.html
All the bells and whistles and golly-gee whiz graphics mean nothing if the Web Quest task fails to engage students in truly outstanding inquiry tasks. Bernie Dodge, a founding father of Web Quest, describes a "taskonomy" of challenging tasks appropriate for Web Quest design.http://edweb.sdsu.edu/webquest/webquest.htmlThis is the official WebQuest Page with training materials for teacher, a matrix by content areas and grade levels of over 200 selected WebQuests, and much more.
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/teacher_ideas.htmlTom Marsh, a founding father of Web Quests suggest several preliminary types of Web activities to prepare kids for online inquiry projects. Marsh through the generous PacBell have provided painless, "html-less" Web activity forms. All do-it-yourself, fill-in-the-blank webpage. See Tom Marsh's Idea Pool at
