Webquests...click on find webquests
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

Bubbleshare.com Are you looking for a way to share classroom photos with parents/students without having the photos on the web or taking up so much valuable server space? Perhaps you have tried creating free albums online with Snapfish.com or Shutterbug.com but don't like parents having to create accounts to access them? Here is another site that allows you to upload and create unlimited free albums, add 30 second audio clip to each photo to explain them if you chose, parents can access through an email link and not have to create an account, and you can keep them private and unlisted...all for free (there is some advertising on the album page and that is the reason they can have this free service) Albums are stored for 365 days and you can renew at the end of the year too for free. There is a batch uploader too so you can upload folders rather than
individual photos.
