Obviously, the Internet has changed the way our students learn and the way teachers teach. Just about anyone today can "surf" the Internet, but finding exactly what you're looking for in a short amount of time requires an understanding of search engines and how they work. I like the following websites for teaching students to search the Internet as specificied in the Texas technology standards 4A-B:

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/AnalyseTopicForm.pdf
http://www.kn.att.com/wired/21stcent/wgensearch.html
Personally, my favorite Metasearch engine is Dogpile because it searches multiple search engines simultaneouly.
