We've finalized a great group of Quest Expert Teachers (QETs) to "work" the Teacher's Discussion during ColumbusQuest. We have three GreeceQuest QETs returning and three new teachers. Michelle Mortensen, Martha Grant, and Sue Foster served as QETs for GreeceQuest. Joining the group are Quest veterans Sherri Love, Deb Wasson, and Denise Woloszyn, who has had Expert Classrooms in past Quests. These teachers will be available on the Quest site in September. You may use the Teacher's Discussion to post thoughts all summer long at: <http://quest.classroom.com/teachers/teacherDiscussion.asp?qargs=150> _______________________________________________________ 3) Hot Quest Web Sites You may not be doing much Questing this summer, but if you'd like to keep in touch with news and hot issues around the world we have a couple of recommendations for you.
