support teaching and learning through their Education First Initiative.
Two of these resources are listed below:
- Blue
Web'N
- A library of Blue Ribbon sites for educators. The site is searchable
by content, subject, or grade.

- Web
Quests
- A WebQuest presents students with a challenging task, scenario,
or problem to solve. Best to topics are those that are under dispute
or that at least offer a couple different perspectives. Current events,
controversial social and environmental topics work well. Students
begin by learning some common background knowledge, then divide into
groups. Each student or pair of students has a particular role, task,
or perspective to master. They effectively become experts on one aspect
of a topic. Students must synthesize their learning by completing
a summarizing act such as e-mailing congressional representatives
or presenting their interpretation to the world. If you want to see
a more comprehensive collection of Web Quests, check out the collections
of Bernie
Dodge and Tom
March.
