150+ Cyberhunts and Cyberhunt Construction Links

A word about broken links…Many of the sites listed below contain

“broken links.”

In other words, the websites that the links point to are no longer there or are not

functioning. Always preview the links of a cyberhunt just before assigning it to your

students.

Broken links are discouraging, but they are not disastrous. Often, you can locate an alternate website which will give your students the same information.

If you decide to use some of a cyberhunt’s questions to create your own activity, it is wise to include a credit or reference to the original activity.

Happy cyberhunting!
