You’ve faced this situation before. Your students are ready to begin the research segment of their project. You’ve decided to allow students to go online to conduct their research. You’ve scoped out the scene before hand and found some great sites amongst the chaos in Google.

Now what? You don’t know how to create a page using HTML - and even if you did, you don’t have any hosting. What is a poor teacher to do? You could create a Squidoo lens; this is an example of one.

It gets better. You can put polls, pictures, and other announcements. There are hundreds of modules. Even if you don’t have a particularly good reason, go out and make a lens. Worst case scenario, you’ll raise a few cents for charity.

I created my first lens on Squidoo as an experiment. I wanted to learn about how Squidoo worked and needed a subject I knew well enough to consider myself an expert on. What better topic than myself - albeit a little self-righteous.
