The December 1996 / January 1997 issue of Classroom Connect said this:

"A quiet revolution is taking place on the internet. K-12 educators and university professors around the world are working together to develop new, innovative ways to bring the Internet into their curriculum, and then sharing their successful implementations with others via the World Wide Web. In the summer of 1995, Bernie Dodge, a professor of educational technology at San Diego State University, developed an innovative approach to using the Internet as an integral part of teaching any subject at any grade level. He wrote a brief, three page summary of his new idea and promptly posted it to the World Wide Web. Since that summer day, dozens of wired K-12 educators have visited Dodge's WebQuest home page, studied his unique approach, and adopted it for use in their classrooms. Indeed, the word 'WebQuest' has quickly become one of the hottest educational technology buzzwords, both online and in the real world."

From the time that article appeared, teachers have been writing enthusiastically about the WebQuest model and the materials on this site.
