Credits - Thank You:

There are many individuals and sites I would like to say a sincere thank you to for assisting me while I create this Web Quest: [remember - these sites are 'never done' - always updating and/or changing!]

WIT Summer 2004 Web Quest Institute, Craig A. Cunningham, Ph.D.WIT Director, Terry Jones, Technology Coordinator, Fuller Elementary School, CPS, Russ Revzan, Technology Coordinator, Dyett Academic Center, CPS, and all the participants.  This was a great, beneficial, fast moving instructional time.

Meganne Elias, Applications to Computers, Lincoln Avenue School, District 148.  She is the main influence for the How-to-do Project in both the 7th and 8th grades Applications to Computers Classes in District 148.

Using FrontPage to begin a Web Quest - excellent source to answer a multitude of questions.

Curriculum Webs Developed in WIT - these real and existing examples are the BEST!  All of you are super!

Teacher Tools to motivate creativity and originality within our Web Quest - we were introduced to these tools, plus many not listed, on a daily basis.  Many of these were discovered because of 'mistakes' - Yes, even those oops are the best lessons.

Web Tools and Resources - these links to these sites were created specifically for our class, especially when someone found 'something' useful and/or interesting, the person(s) became more vocal because of: WOW! You have got to see this!

Files and Folders Summary - this explains how FrontPage is organizing all our folders, files, pages, links, images, etc. etc. - A very important concept to understand - "Why does my Web Quest work?"

Templates are a time saver! {two different resources}- Keeps those 'standard' pages / thoughts uniform and one does not have to copy and paste.

Thank You again, I am looking forward to using these Web Quests with the students - before, during, and after school.
