The
idea behind this project is to produce a web quest that will facilitate
the integration of the wealth of educational resources on the Internet
into the daily curriculum. One of the challenges facing teachers who
want to use the Internet in the classroom is identifying quality sites
and then integrating them into daily class work.
The Activities
Students have to work through each site collaborating with each other
as they try to discover the answers to the various activities.
Students also have to plot their voyage on a world map. This activity
involves using latitude and longitude plotting.
