Researching eras : Ms. Arp's LA

Ms. Arp's Language Arts classes are researching "eras" in United States history. Ms. Arp and I are working together to incorporate Georgia Performance Standards, 21st Century Skills and National Technology Standards into this lesson. Students locate their facts, along with visual and audio components, and will work together to create Power Point presentations. They are using Galileo for most of their research.
Today, we discussed plagiarism (stealing from the original author), copyright (even on websites), citing sources (on cards and within the PPT) and judging websites for value (wikipedia is an edited online encyclopedia...anyone can put anything on a website).
We are using 12 desktop student computers and three laptops connected to the wireless network in the media center.
