Thing 7a

Infinite Thinking Machine had a article about some new Google Search Lessons for teachers to use with students making a large amount of info available quickly. It makes skillful searching a lesson to help students with all kinds of projects or papers. Every topic has three lessons that build on one another. I like this because it is readily accessible to us as teachers. I'm always looking for direction on lessons when I take my kids to the lab and these are set up and ready to go.
On the blog Moving at the Speed of Creativity, Fryer writes about his kid trying to get on the Internet during a rode trip. She realizes they don't have Internet access. This makes him view his daughter's perception of the Internet. He realizes she thinks it's an invisible resource that is accessible from anywhere or anytime all over the world. Which, it almost is! Anyway, he just thought that her reaction was funny.
