WEBQUESTS.COM - http://bestwebquests.com/default.asp
There are many pages claiming to be "webquests," so “it's time for the
experts to step in and separate the real webquests from other web-based
activities.” Check this site as a way to find the best WebQuests
arranged by content area and learners' age. You can read tips on what
makes a great WebQuest, submit yours for consideration, and get tips on
WebQuest design. The site is designed and maintained by Tom March.
MATRIX FOR WEBQUESTS - http://webquest.org/
The numbers in the cells represent the number of WebQuests listed at
each grade level and subject. This list is a selective one... much more
selective than what you'll find if you type "WebQuest" into a search
engine!
