¥Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators is one of the best starting points for a teacher who is looking for Internet resources.

¥The American Library Association has a Librarian's Guide to Cyberspace for Parents and Kids that features some neat sites in the Kid's section. You will probably want to follow some of these links to see if you can narrow the topic before using the resources in your Quest.

¥Middleweb.com has a large number of links. Most of them are professional development sites, although there is a General Resources section which is a rich source of links for your lesson.

¥The Busy Teachers' Web site also features a large number of resources.

¥Filamentality is a fill-in-the-blank interactive Web site that guides you through picking a topic, searching the Web, gathering good Internet sites, and turning Web resources into activities appropriate for learners. So it helps you combine the Filaments of the Web with a learner's mentality (get it?). Support is built in through Mentality Tips, so you'll be guided right along the way and end up with a Web-based activity you can share with others even if you don't know anything about HTML, Web servers, or all that www-dot stuff.

¥Region 20 Education Service Center  has examples of different projects created by participants in Region. They are divided according to the approach chosen. For example, webquests appear under "Activity Formats" while Collaborative Problem-Solving projects appear under "Activity Structures."

¥Corrina Perrone, David Clark, and Alexander Repenning.  Substantiating Education in Edutainment through Interactive Learning Games.  This paper presents WebQuest, a system combining the WWW with the notion of an interactive quest game. Instead of just creating their own homepages, that may be interesting to other students for only social reasons, students turn into authors of their own interactive quest games.
