It ain't easy being green....

Finding Kermit was the inspiration for one of the first Internet Search Challenges created by Dr. Carl Heine. The task is to track down a picture of Kermit ready for graduation in the least amount of time.

Many teachers use this as a whole class lab activity. Put up a search challenge and then it's off the races! This game is live, just click Google to start the timer.

This activity has been available online for years along with nearly 100 other Information Literacy Games at 21cif.com.

1000 7-12 graders at Northwestern's Center for Talent Development took this self-paced course this summer!

We got great results! Open for guest viewing.
