frames
An extension to HTML from Netscape. Frame extensions enable web page designers to split their clients' browser windows into multiple, independently scrollable panels, with separate documents in each panel. On framed web sites, hyperlinks in one frame can be programmed to update the content of adjacent frames, making it possible for web programmers to incorporate intuitive, visually pleasing navigation interfaces into their web sites. Frame extensions also make it possible to launch multiple browser windows and to control the contents of each window through hyperlinks embedded in other windows.

Although Netscape's frame extensions haven't been officially accepted by the WWW consortium as a standard part of HTML, their widespread use throughout the Web community has made them a de facto standard.

WebQuest
A WebQuest as defined, by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University, is "an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet."

WebQuests offer an ideal model for teachers who are searching for ways to integrate the Internet into their classroom. Each WebQuest has a clear task or problem assigned with rich links related to a topic or curriculum content area.
