4. Other reference materials on the Internet for student searches:
6. Practice downloading files and pictures from the

below:
Note: Having students print massive amounts of info from the Internet is not as helpful or appropriate as having them ask specific questions and find specific information with specific bibliographic references - more critical thinking is involved and the activity is less likely to become a project in plagiarism.
