| This site is for Adult Education teachers and students. Everyone
will be led, step by step, through exciting and interesting Web
sites with activities to make them more valuable. Adult Basic
Education, ABE, first through fifth grade reading and math abilities, is represented
here. General Education Development, GED, sixth grade through twelfth grade abilities, also is represented.
Watch for the ABE, GED labels on each activity.
The purpose of this site is to lead teachers and students through
wonderful sites via detailed instructions of actually how to maneuver
a Web site and how to use the site in the classroom. Once a teacher
sees how, the world is opened for exploration. Topics from the
news, from a textbook, or from a student are available and ready
for in-depth and across the curriculum use. A pounding heart and
fast breathing are the side effects of using the Web in the classroom.
Stimulating is the calm description. |

The sites are developed by teams of three students with a coach
for each student. The teams often have members in different countries,
sometimes all members are in different countries. The judging
is based on how user friendly the site is, how well documented
the information is, how well the team collaborats, how informative
the site is, etc. Education usability is extremely important. |

The ThinkQuest competition began in 1996. The semi-finalist and
finalist sites, for each year, will be on the Web for at least
ten years. The quality of information is high, the amount of information
is thick, and the careful documentation of information and sources
are listed in each site.
