Why are you guessing?

Go back and read your text ... or research this on Google!
Wow i never seen a teacher that told someone to research it on google hahaha
Hey, I'd have to research it on Google!

I'm always surprised that students older than 8 aren't already using Google skillfully. I hope that's not too optimistic of me!!

This is one of the best webpages I've seen about how to use Google skillfully. Scroll down beyond How to Google and read and follow directions:

writeacher you are the best teacher ever! you accualy reccommend google unlike other teachers who say using google is cheating

But if students are willing to use Google effectively and then read the different search results, that's not cheating. That's researching!

Be sure to bookmark that hackcollege.com webpage I gave above.
