(Here is a sample of text; REPLACE with YOUR own introduction/scenario):
The impact of the Internet and the World Wide Web on popular culture is not hard to measure. Tally the jargon that's made it into our everyday language: 'Net-surfing, info superhighway, Web site, chat room, cyber, browser, online, homepage, HTML and @. If the Web has reached such broad public awareness, how do you think it's touched the lives of our trend-tracking students? In fact, people have begun referring to today's students as Generation Dot Com. So even if the Web bore no educational value, we as teachers would need to come to terms with it to understand our students' world and frame of reference. The good news is that the Web is not just helpful to education, but, used effectively, it can revolutionize student learning.

Back in the early days of the Web (was it really only 1995?), Professor Bernie Dodge began developing the WebQuest strategy at San Diego State University to help teachers integrate the power of the Web with student learning. I was fortunate to count Bernie as a mentor and colleague, so we began creating sample WebQuests and putting them online for teachers and students around the world to use. Three years of working in offices across the hall from each other, occasionally teaching together and frequently ruminating over drafts of chapters and online WebQuests, Bernie created The WebQuest Page and I contributed a handful of WebQuests to Pacific Bell's Knowledge Network Explorer. What follows is an introduction to some key ideas behind WebQuests. But before jumping into the whys and hows of WebQuests, it's important to make sure you have a good conceptual understanding of the World Wide Web and its aspects that support student learning.
