This is an article from the Real Simple magazine written by John Lawton all about "Googling". This resource is for teachers, students, and really anyone who uses Google. The articles focus is tips on using Google, from doing basic searches to advanced. This article also has a section called: "7 Things You Can Do Directly in the Google Search Field". Some of the things included performing calculations and converting measurements. This is a good way for my students to gain easy access to information needed to not only obtain knowledge used within the classroom, but outside the classroom in their natural setting. For example, they can search information about local recreation and leisure activities and find information about local transportation and housing.
