WebQuests (Search)

http://www.swadulted.com/ReadTech/rftwhatis/rt1home.htm - This is a WebQuest (longer and higher reading level - 6-7th?). It is designed to have students acquire vocabulary as they understand parts of a computer. The project is to draw a computer box and label parts by memory.

http://www.swadulted.com/ReadTech/FPquestintro/ - This is a introduction tutorial for using Front Page 2000. Students here have used it and like it.

WebTasks

http://www.swadulted.com/ReadTech/WebTasks/wordtitle.htm - I've invented a new template (WebTask) that I believe will appeal to adults a lot more than some online. A WebTask is a short segment with instructions on how to complete a simple task, using technology. If anyone wants to suggest topics, we are happy to oblige. This particular WebTask is to create a simple Word Title Page. Written at about 5th--grade reading level, I would think.
