Some of These May Be Obsolete

• Since some webmasters often change the design of their websites, the links on our treasure hunt pages may get "not found" error messages.
• Though some of these may still be functional, we do not maintain this section of our website anymore.
• We have left these online as examples of how to create a similar activity for your own students.
• At the time we began this project, many teachers did not have websites, so we offered space on our server for teachers to share their activities.
• Now, it is very easy for teachers to put up their own websites and create activities like these for their own students.
