This WebQuest is designed to allow students to work individually with a minimum of teacher involvement required, so a single teacher should be able to administer this to a single class.

Of course, there is always room for parents, aides, or others who are willing to help students who encounter difficulties with either the technological or informational aspects of the WebQuest.
