Webquest

I just completed my webquest and unit plan.  It was a lot of work, but something I've been wanting to do for the past two years.  I never realized there was a site like Questgarden to help create a webquest.  Though a lot of work went into creating the webquest, I felt I knew what to input in each step of the process.
I used the search feature in Questgarden to get an idea of what other middle school Math teachers had already created.  I particularly liked one, "Extreme Room Makeover", which incorporated perimeter, area, and volume, as well as finding purchases on line while staying within a budget.  This was my starting point in creating my own webquest, which incorporates these calculations, as well as creating a scale drawing.
 I plan to introduce this webquest to my students next week.  It involves initial group preparation in the classroom for two days, on-line individual research in the computer lab for 2 days, a day for the group to put their individual work together on a poster, and a day to share their group's work with the class.  I hope my students enjoy the project, and learn how to apply what they learned in class to real-life applications.
I initially thought the work asked of the students was too easy.  As I continued I thought it might be too complicated.  I'll see what my students reaction is very soon.

Oh, I was also excited to learn how to insert a link to print a worksheet in the webquest.  I have to thank my 26 year old son for helping me figure it out!

Power Point Presentation

Hi!  I hope this works.  It took me a few tries to get my power point to upload.  It looks like some of my graphics are not in the same place as they were on the original, and the custom animations aren't working.  Also, on my original, when you click on the "Bell" on two slides there is sound animation. 
Here is the code I copied and pasted:
