Week 9 Web 2.0 tool

Below is a document for a webquest that was used as an introductory activity as the students began to explore chemical reactions.  The web addresses were all very cumbersome and so they were changed using the tinyURL.com website.  Webquests have always taken much longer with the students having to type in the long addresses.  With time in the computer lab being difficult to schedule this was extremely helpful.
