class can chime in and talk about those two."

BernieD says, "First up... let's take a look at GeoPark. There are so
few good Math WebQuests out there. I have high hopes that
this one will turn out to be a dazzler. Take a few minutes
to look it over and then let's talk about it."

JamesBS says, "I agree, Bernie. There aren't many good Math WebQuests."

lisa [guest] arrives from nowhere.
BernieD says, "It's still a bit rough, but the basic notion is that kids
will design a theme park with scaled down versions of
great buildings from around the world that are basically
geometrical solids. The leaning tower of Pisa, the
Transamerica Building, the Guggenheim, etc."

SL asks, "Is there a directory of WebQuests anywhere out there?"

JeffC has arrived.
Mrcrecorder (recording) has arrived.
JanetMO says, "Very nice."

Judi says, "i'm just wondering something....."

JamesBS says, "Interesting."

Judi says, "this is sort of a low level question...."

Judi asks, "why are all the pages separate now?"

Scott [guest] says, "Anything that integrates math-science and is
hands-on, minds-on is good stuff"

Judi says, "I dislike clicking :-)"

BernieD says, "In order to do that, they'll use the web to find out the
dimensions of each building, then use proportions to
figure out how to build a scale model of each. They'll use
cardboard to actually assemble the models."

Judi says, "but I definitely like the task."

KerryH says, "It is a wonderful use of a quest."

JamesBS says, "Nice project."

JeffreyT says, "You should have shown this last night to make all those
math teachers happy :)"

BernieD asks, "Which low-level question are you referring to, Judi?"

Judi asks, "why are the pages like Intro and task separate?"

Judi says, "seems like a lot of extra clicks"

davidjb [guest] says, "what about the logistics of cutting, assembly,
