Know anything about coaching or judging ThinkQuest student website entries?

I presume there are scoring/judging criteria similar to DECA or BPA. Is this something you'll be doing? Sounds like a blast!

Yes, it is a blast. There is a very sturdy rubric to use to make the judging very accurate. This helps, so I don't feel that I was harsher on those I judged first, and I like to look at the fantastic websites. Here is the webpage that explains the judging process and application: http://thinkquest.org/judge/tq_volunteer_judge.pdf

I think you (and my other colleagues;-) would enjoy it also. ThinkQuest organizers like to have judges from all over the world. The judging starts on April 14, 2008 , and they give you almost a month (ends on May 5, 2008) to look them over 24/7 at your leisure. There is no required amount of websites to judges, but the more that you can judge, the better;D

Kids, from all over the world are working together on these websites, and I am always in awe of their accomplishments. Some have a good start, so I try to encourage them in my comments, so they will try again next year.

I'll check it out...thanks so much for sharing this fun opportunity!
