 <title>Doctoral Dissertation and WebQuests</title>
 <link>http://www.edtechtalk.com/node/871</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Bloggers, Wiki writers, WebQuesters, and online learners,&lt;br /&gt;
I am currently a doctoral student at the University of Phoenix  online program in education, leadership, curriculum, and instruction. As much  as I love researching and writing papers, I have to come up with a problem statement for my dissertation. I am interested in online learning, WebQuests, and ways of integrating technology into the EFL/ESL classroom. My EFL high school students are not motivated to learn in the classroom because they learn English from TV, the Internet, and through music. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am also  interested in coaching and relationship education as a way to improve  learning. The WebQuest seems to have everything I am interested in: teamwork and social skills, higher order critical thinking skills, and learning by means of technology. But, I can&#039;t come up with a research  question/problem.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Discussion on Worldbridges Sustainability
    &lt;br /&gt;November 16, 2006 &lt;/b&gt;

  &lt;/object&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;While hanging out on air before EdTech Brainstorm, Brad Hicks skyped in and asked Jeff &amp;amp; Dave about the sustainability of Worldbridges and The Webcast Academy.&amp;nbsp; The discussion that ensued covered non-profit possibilities, other financial considerations, potential management structures and how to avoid participant burnout.&amp;nbsp;
