There is a short one there now...</p> <p>To be honest, I haven't been blogging long. I've had a couple of personal blogs, but I was a classroom teacher before it was possible to blog in the classroom. I see the collaborative power in the medium, but wonder why is it so hard to explain...</p> <p>We run Manila with scidhotlyn for teachers in Deer Valley. We call it MyTeacher ( <a href="http://myteacher.dvusd.com">http://myteacher.dvusd.com</a> ). It is fantastic blogging software, but most teachers use it for home pages or class pages. That is great, but it could be so much more. </p> <p>The webquest came from an independant assignment in my Masters program as well as a desire to communicate the power of blogs and rss to our teachers. I don't think it does a particularly good job of explaining RSS, but I have a day or so to work on that...</p> <p>In researching this, I relied heavily on cogdogblog as well as several other sites. It has been exciting to see the webquest mentioned in a few of them. </p> <p>When my daughter was born, several years ago, I learned how to write her web pages largely from Alan's volcano tutorial. Alan - Thanks for the fantastic resources you have been providing educators!</p> http://cogdogblog.com/alan/archives/2004/05/07/webquest.php#547 Fri, 07 May 2004 10:11:19 -0700
