Class blog leads to WebQuest

I started a class blog recently. Yesterday it dawned on me that a blog may make for the perfect vehicle for a customized WebQuest. So I started a Shark WebQuest.

Reaching out

"In The Memory Project, highly skilled art students create portraits for children living in orphanages around the world. The idea is that children who end up in orphanages tend to have few personal possessions and receiving a portrait of themselves helps to create a bond with their youth, their culture and ultimately, their identity. So, if you are an Art teacher or know of one, perhaps this is a project you might be able to support! Check out the site for samples and more information on how you can participate." - Pete McKay at The Teacher List
