This short trail was created to demonstrate the ability of Trailfire to hold questions for students. If you mark a selection of Web sites for students to view in a trail, you might also embed questions at each mark on the trail to help focus students on specific elements on those Web pages. Otherwise, they may just browse aimlessly without ever picking up any information. You could have students answer the questions by leaving a comment on the mark, but that would give away the answer to other students. You could also have students work in groups and click the "email" link that sits atop each mark and send the teacher their responses via email. Or you could just give students a handout with all the questions or give them a file with the questions so they can take notes on a computer. Finally, note that instead of the teacher creating a trail for students, a great way for students to learn about a topic is to have them create trails and questions for a study partner or their peers.
