Sometimes you wonder where you have been for the last year. I just read several posts about Google Co-op and the ability to create a customizable search engine. What a find! Doesn't this sound like exactly the type of education tool we want. The ability to teach search strategies while only searching a set of reviewed websites.

If you haven't heard of Google Co-op it bears a look at. I'm having visions of teaching teachers how to build custom search engines prior to major projects and then embedding the link to that search engine (or even the search engine itself) in a teacher's Moodle course. That way the students can leverage going to the same site they always visit in Moodle and use the teachers custom search engine.
