Tonight's topic is Seed Sites for WebQuests.

What is a Seed Site? It's a web site that seems to be bursting with
potential. A site that contains information that you've never had easy
access to, and which inspires you to create great new lessons.

There's something surprising and maybe a little offbeat about seed
sites. They buzz around in your head for awhile and the next thing you
know, you're drafting a unit you've never done before. That's a fuzzy
definition, I know. The best way to get clearer is to look at some
examples.
