[CASL-L] Non computer research skills ideas

[Chris Barlow]

Thanks everyone who replied with suggestions.
I will be going to a couple different classrooms, where there is one computer and a Smart Board. The other classroom doesn’t have either so any work there will be done on stone tablets ;-)
I have a number of options so now I’ll just sort through them and see what might work.
