This WebQuest was developed as part of the paid study leave granted by the Catalan Ministry of Education (llicència d'estudis retribuïdes, modalitat C del Departament d'Educació de Catalunya) during 2005/06 the title of which is "Using ICT in Geometry classes".

Thanks to all the staff in St. Timothy's Primary school in Glasgow, with special mention to Linda Morris, the teacher who was involved in coaching context. She was following the Teaching for Effective Learning techniques as the rest of the staff and I had the opportunity to see how it worked, using a smart board tool, having the chance at the same time to match theory with practice.

Special thanks to Lesley Bell and Lesley-Anne Dick for correcting the WebQuest and thanks to Robyn Leonard and Paul Donnely (Primary 7 pupils) to record the words from the vocabulary.

The last but not the least, special mention to Agustí Sierra "Gus" the author of Geometrik.
