Google for President!
My two favorite tools were google notebook and google earth. Google notebook is just about the handiest research tool I have ever seen. I have cut and pasted URLs into word documents before when researching, but the notebook makes it so much easier. I want to see if there is a way for my students to use it, we do several research projects through the year, and the kids always have a lot of trouble keeping up with the webpages they visit.
Google earth is just fun to use. But I did think of practical uses. One of which is for their "immigrant" city research project. Using google earth I was able to find one of the tiny cities they students research and could see what it was close to. It also had restaurants, and the kids will get a kick out of how small it is compared to Houston.
