Webquests
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from
the Web.
WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and
to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

Free Software
FREEWARE :
Copyrighted software given away for free by the author. Although it is
available for free, the author retains the copyright, which means that you
cannot do anything with it that is not expressly allowed by the author.
Usually, the author allows people to use the software, but not sell it.
SHAREWARE :
Software distributed on the basis of an honor system. Most shareware is
delivered free of charge, but the author usually requests that you pay a
small fee if you like the program and use it regularly. By sending the small
fee, you become registered with the producer so that you can receive
service assistance and updates. You can copy shareware and pass it along
to friends and colleagues, but they too are expected to pay a fee if they use
the product.
Shareware is inexpensive because it is usually produced by a single
programmer and is offered directly to customers.
PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE :
Refers to any program that is not copyrighted. Public-domain software is
free and can be used without restrictions.
