Bernie Dodge's Home Page - Though not done using 3DWriter, this web site can easily be viewed as a series of 3DWriting documents that were compiled to create the web site. Each section could have been drafted and then imported into a more heavy-duty HTML editor. By approaching web pages in this fashion, the focus stays on content first and frills second. If you want students to create content as an outcome of a WebQuest, think about Bernie's page and 3DWriter.
