  I think that your webquest looks good, and it seems like it will be a fun assignment! I think that it will definitely make them think, and they will have a lot of fun with sketchup, while still learning about cartography, which will be interesting and informational for them. There is no rubric or conclusion. The webquest does not include interaction between others, but you could easily incorporate that somehow. A couple of mistakes that I saw with the editing were that on the "Construction" page, it still says "Click here to edit me" as the heading. And on #7 of part 2 on the "Construction" page it says "on 5-7 ON your landmarks", and I think you meant to put "OF your landmarks".

  Group 6 Web Quest looks really great. At first I thought it would be really hard to teach a class on how to use Google Sketch Up virtually, but this group did an amazing job at explaining and giving resources. I even noticed that they used a video website called "School Tube" which I am assuming is a school safe version of YouTube. The layout, colors, and design are all very pleasing, easy to navigate, and I could find everything. I really want to be able to use this web quest for one of my classes in the future, it's so cool. I cannot wait to see the final product.
  
  My only concern and comment is that your website says it is sponsored by someone but no where else on the web quest could I find more information on this person or what he does (unless it was included in the art history section). Also, are the students presenting this to each other? How are they interacting and talking with their peers? The rubrics and everything are clear and as a teacher there are a lot of resources on the Teacher Page, however I think there is a miscommunication in time and how long they should be spending on each task. I think a helpful way to solve this would be to include a time line with each part of the task (maybe address the amount of days to spend one each part).
  
  I think this is appropriate for the grade level also. It is a mature project that I think they will have fun with because they get to include basic drawing skills and transform it online. Sketchup is such a cool Web 2.0 tool that I think the students will love. They are also exploring different countries and cities, and are told not to stick to cities of the United States. Overall, you can tell this was well though out.

  Feedback: Great lesson! Students will enjoy exploring the world via Google Maps and creating cities that reflect them. I appreciate your easy to follow step-by-step instructions and thoughtful grading rubric.
  
  Suggestions: Could students work in pairs? This may help with any Google Sketchup confusion that may occur. Students may not have access to YouTube--I will find out. I agree with Leah that a link to simplified Sketchup instructions would greatly benefit students with no previous experience.
