2. Use either Google News, News Archive, Books, Scholar, or create your own Custom Search and blog about whether or not what you use could be good for you or your students and why.

3. Sign up for a Diigo account and start adding some bookmarks there.

4. REMINDER: You should be posting 4 blog posts a month. Review the Expectations page for more information.

 

BLOGGING PROMPTS - use these for blogging inspiration

 

1. What kind of websites do you direct your students to when they're looking for news? Or historical information? Are there elementary-friendly places you send them?

2. Google has more products than the ones we highlighted. Have you used others? Write a blog post about it.

3. What do you see as the biggest barrier when it comes to your students searching on Google (or other websites)?
