Shanzy GT Teacher - Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I like the idea of rating as well as the idea of posting the top three marks. I have several students who are twice exceptional (Severe LD and Asbergers). I have found a great webquest that I am adapting to incorporate Web 2.0 tools. I also have decided to have the students 'become' t...See More
