3. Presentations, we would like each person to give a brief summary of their webquest (2-3 minutes) in order to try out ideas and get suggestions from the group.

4. Work time.

5. Checklist for a successful lesson. Thanks, Nicole!

Feel like you are almost finished? Check this checklist!

1. Check every page for spelling errors and sentence structure;
Look at the aesthetics of your page (are there appropriate spaces after punctuation, such as
commas), line spacing, alignment, etc.
2. Click on every link to see that they work.
3. Make sure you have links on your webquest page and personal page that link to each other
4. Make sure all graphics load.
5. Take a sneak peek at your colleagues' pages to see what they have done
6. Keep in mind, your pages may never be "completely" finished and you may continually add to them throughout the school year
7. Make sure you have an e-mail link on your pages so others can contact
you (remember, to create an e-mail link highlight the text, press link and put in
"mailto:youremailaddress" with no spaces and no quotations)
8. Consider adding a "page last updated" date on the bottom of each home page in a smaller font
9. Make sure your teaching guide is complete and linked to your webquest
10. Go through your lesson with Sharon and Edie.
