Unlike the old WebQuest template, which consisted of just two separate web pages, the new template is an interconnected system of smaller sections designed to fit within a frame. The good news is that this allows you to focus on one segment at a time; the bad news is that you'll need to spend a few minutes learning what goes where. What follows is a short description of each of the web pages in the new system. |
