Advanced searches - great time savers, I don't know if students know about all of these, but they would be helpful if they did. A great activity would be to show them the Prezi on the searches and then have them utilize the advanced searches to find answers to content related questions - maybe a contest to see who could find all answers the fastest

Wonder wheel - awesome for helping to narrow down a topic for research - could give students the topic "War of 1812" and have them use the Wonder Wheel to narrow down to a specific aspect of that war to research

Google squared - tons of information with one click of the search button, love that it is customizable - can add or delete categories to fit needs or if there is not a square already built, you can help build one! Great examples to use in US History are US Presidents or US States.

Custom Search Lesson Plan: My custom search engine is for sites with information on delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Each student is assigned one of the delegates and will portray that delegate during a re-enactment of the convention. The custom search engine is to be used by students to find reliable information on the delegate they have been assigned.
