Women On The Web Scavenger Hunt

This is a class activity which is designed to help you become more familiar with the World Wide Web. Try to imagine this exercise as a walking tour of a new city filled with museums, homes, maps, photos, and other interesting artifacts. Working with a partner, find the answers to these 10 questions. When you have found them, take note of the URL (locations) of the answers. Email the list of URLs to Diane Maluso. Please be sure to answer the very last question. You will be able to find the answers to all of these questions within a few mouseclicks from your starting point--this page. Good luck!
