Our students may not find reading and writing particularly relevant to their lives. The ReadWriteWeb blog might give you some ideas about how to tap into what kids DO find relevant. I unearthed a couple of tips that I am anxious to try. If you are very, very lucky (or not) maybe some of the results of this experimentation will show up here eventually. I can hardly wait to find the weirdest stuff on the internet. And Google develops cool new tools faster than I can keep up. Here are instructions for creating a Google custom search engine. -mh
What great ideas. I love looking for weird things and also those bogus websites. Maybe we should have a school competition?? Thanks for the tips!
