Perhaps the easiest way to do your WebQuest website is to create the pieces of it directly in a Web editor (such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver). To do this you need to already know how to use these tools. If you don't, then perhaps you should wait until you have the WebQuest materials done, and I will help you through the process of creating the site.

Note: If you already know how to use Microsoft Word, then you know a lot of FrontPage, too. It is very important to start the site correctly in FrontPage, however, so you might want to contact me about this.

One good way to get a WebQuest up and running quickly is to use one of the WebQuest templates that exist. To use these, you have to

  • Download the template (there are different versions for Mac and Windows)
  • Uncompress (decompress?) the template. For example, in Windows you need a program like Winzip or Zip Central to do this. Make sure that all the pages go into the same folder so that you can find them.
  • Import the pages into your favorite Web editor such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver. Make sure that you do this correctly, according to the instructions for your editor. For example, in FrontPage you should first create an "Empty Web" and then important the template pages and other files into it.
  • Fill in the pages with your WebQuest information. The navigation, etc should already work.
