If you want your students to really interact with the sites they visit, try downloading the Diigo toolbar. It allows users to not only bookmark favorite pages, but to highlight and annotate them. Perfect for research projects! I'm going to try it out with some 8th graders who are learning about assessing web sites. They will need to find, assess, and mark up three web sites to show me that they understand the red flags that indicate a web site is not reliable.
Here's a quick rundown of Diigo. As always, a full-screen version of Getting_started_with_Diigo is available.
