BJB asks, "how about if we start with introductions, Judi?"

BJB says, "that way we'll be ready to go when Bernie gets here"

Judi-2 says, "sure... we can start with intros.... and hope that Bernie gets
here before they end... :-)"

Judi-2 says, "I'm checking email to see if there is any word from him."

Judi-2 [to BJ]: "want to get us started?"

BJB says, "I'm a teacher in Pennsylvania and a staff for TAPPED IN"

DavidBoi has arrived.
BJB says, "I'd like to welcome you all to this ASO.
session is Bernie Dodge's WebQuest Matrix"

The topic for this

DavidBoi goes OUT.

PhilipAB says, "Perhaps we could go and have a look before Bernie
actually arrives."

Judi-2 thinks that's a goodidea.

PhilipAB asks, "Shall I project "The Webquest page"?"

Judi-2 [to PhilipAB]: "if you have it handy..."

PhilipAB [WebTeach] projects Projections.
---------------
When someone "projects" a website, you will see a new window open on
your computer screen. All you have to do is switch back and forth between
the windows to alternately view the website, or exchange comments and
questions with the other folks here in Tapped In. If you understand all this
and are ready to continue, say so.

BJB [HelpDesk] wonders if Phil is going to project the matrix page

PhilipAB says, "I thought I would begin on the WebQuest Page home
page..."

PhilipAB [WebTeach] projects the URL:
http://webquest.sdsu.edu/webquest.html

PhilipAB says, "You click on "examples" to reach the matrix."

BJB [to David]: "do you know about web page projections?"

BJB [to David]: "I will show you the page that was just projected"

BJB [HelpDesk] shows DavidBoi the URL:
http://webquest.sdsu.edu/webquest.html

PhilipAB says, "After you click on "examples" you can choose the grade
level you want to view."

DavidBoi says, "Yes, good"

DavidBoi asks, "I selected the grade level, now what?"

PhilipAB [WebTeach] is hardly a substitute for Bernie, as it'sbeen a while
since he viewed the matrix, but there clearly are many new WebQuests
there.

DavidBoi says, "The new ones are so marked..."

PhilipAB says, "I'm sure Bernie would have a list of Quests for us to visit..."

BJB says, "Bernie also plans on adding another 50 or so by the end of
November"
DavidBoi says, "I can show and explain the concept of my
WebQuest...Bernie was my teacher at TTT"

PhilipAB asks, "Shall we look at a specific WebQuest together?"

DavidBoi says, "OK..."

PhilipAB says, "David, why don't you go ahead."

DavidBoi says, "Ok,glad to help...go to high school selections and click on
A Traveler's Graphic Journal"

Judi-2 asks, "are we all looking at A traveler's graphic journal?"

DavidBoi says, "This is my WebQuest created under the guidance of
Bernie. The idea was to create a project whichthe students could create
in three or four days. Go to the first page and click on Process"

DavidBoi says, "I am...because it's the only one I know how to explain in
detail."

BJB [to David]: "Your webquest looks great. I'd love to hear about how
designed it"

you

JenW says, "could you project - I have lost it"

PhilipAB says, "Yes, perhaps David could project the URl directly, to
ensure that everyone is there."

BJB [HelpDesk] shows JenW the URL:
http://www.teachtheteachers.org/projects/DBoin2/index.htm

PhilipAB exclaims, "David, you must have taken scads of photos to set up
this Quest!"

DavidBoi says, "You can see that there are many different links...these are
the resources for both teachers and students. It is a self-contained
research project for both Middle school and High School."

BJB . o O ( does anyone else need me to project David's webquest? )

SueMR says, "yes please"

PhilipAB asks, "David, how many class hours does this quest represent?"

DavidBoi says, "No, all the photos were taken from the Internet....there is
no original photography."

BJB [HelpDesk] shows SueMR the URL:
http://www.teachtheteachers.org/projects/DBoin2/index.htm
SueMR says, "Thanks"

BJB asks, "there was an aso on virtual tours yesterday, David. Can you
tell me what makes a successful virtual tour?"

DavidBoi says, "This project requires group cooperation. Students work
together to take a virtual journal from San Diego to San Francisco. They
need to document their journey and create a bound, travel diary with
pictures."

PhilipAB asks, "David, did you request permission to use the photos, or
like most internauts, did you skip that step?"

DavidBoi says, "If you continue down the Process, you can see the various
