21st Century Information Fluency
This part of the 21cif site features a great search games that can be used with a whole class in a lab or on an individual workstation. Finding Kermit was the inspiration for one of the first Internet Search Challenges created by Dr. Carl Heine. The task is to track down a picture of Kermit in the least amount of time. As a bonus you get to listen to Kermit's commencement speech.
Many teachers use this as a whole class lab activity. Put up a search challenge and then it's off the races! Most of these games were developed for middle and high school students. Adults find them challenging as well. Educators will find these games are easy to use and can easily be plugged into course management systems.
