The workshop is designed to brief teachers, parents and administrators on exemplary Internet activities and a national student competition called ThinkQuest, which is designed to encourage the development of Internet accessible instructional materials by teachers and students. Admission is free and participants will receive a CD-ROM which includes guidelines for creating web pages. Refreshments will be served. The workshop will help teachers prepare for a ThinkQuest award. ThinkQuest offers awards to teams of teachers and students, grades 7-12, who develop web pages that will serve as Internet style educational tools.
Teams can include up to three students and three teachers.
ThinkQuest encourages partnerships among dissimilar schools at different locations, such as a small rural school in Alaska teaming with a large, urban school in Miami. This chart shows the most popular BEV web pages, ranked according to hits. I suspect the Weather page has been popular because of the extreme conditions we've had so far this winter. Christiansburg High School's Art Department has published their students' work on the web. Individuals and groups have several choices for where and how to post web pages - the BEV server, library server, a commercial server, or server available elsewhere on the Internet.
