Google Web Search- Classroom Lessons and ResourcesThe Search Education lessons were developed by Google Certified
Teachers to help you do just that. The lessons are short, modular and
not specific to any discipline so you can mix and match to what best
fits the needs of your classroom. Additionally, all lessons come with a
companion set of slides (and some with additional resources) to help
you guide your in-class discussions.
