WebQuests as Standards-Based Lessons


Part 5: Putting it on the Web

Developing a WebQuest requires two types of skills: curriculum development and webpage development. The WebQuest template can help work through both of these.

Netscape Composer Microsoft Word

To use each of these templates, follow these steps.

  1. Click on the appropriate link to bring the page into Netscape Navigator.
  2. Choose File, Edit page to launch Composer to begin editing your page.
  3. As your first step in Composer, chose File, Save and save the page with a new name in a space where you'll be able to find it later.
  4. From there you can edit each of the elements with the curriculum you want to use.
  5. You can still add all the color and style you want as you would in any other page.
  6. When you want to add a link, type the text first. Then select the text with your mouse and right-click on it. From the menu, choose Create Link Using Selected .... Type or paste the complete URL (including http://) into the blank space.

To use each of these templates, follow these steps.

  1. Right click (Win) or click and hold (Mac) on the appropriate link to save the file to your local computer.
  2. Launch Word and then load the file you just saved.
  3. Working from your planning sheet, edit each of the elements with the curriculum you want to use.
  4. You can still add all the color and style you want as you would in any other page.
