View Time's 50 coolest websites (<A href="http://www.time.com/time/2006/50coolest/index.html">www.time.com/time/2006/50coolest/index.html</A>). Do they know any of the sites? Hold a poll to determine the class's 10 coolest websites. Like the Time list, ask them to classify the final list into entertainment, information, communications, etc. Even better, ask students to keep an internet diary for a week recording any sites they have visited, why and for how long. They could also comment on what they like about the sites and how they found out about them. Collate and discuss the results, and what these reveal about how they use the internet.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/389AE3E0-7616-4003-8A4F-FD3681967065/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
