| Description: | This is a great site focused on primarily on space and science. It offers several opportunities for using computers as Mindtools (mostly through telecommunications which is why I placed this here). Information can also be found here about the Challenger centers around the country (one is currently under construction in the Peoria district) where classes can enter a specialized space shuttle mission simulation environment. |

| Description: | "A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the World Wide Web. WebQuests are designed to focus on using information rather than looking for it and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The model was developed in early 1995 at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge and Tom March, and has been used successfully by educators all over the world." Dodge and March are the educators behind the popular BluWebn site. This WebQuest site has many examples of well constructed WebQuests. |
