Internet+Scavenger+Hunt

This was an in class internet scavenger hunt. This assignment was geared towards college students, but this is a good idea for elementary school classes as well. The content can be modified as the teacher chooses, so every scavenger hunt can be different. It can also be a useful assignment because it can help kids get more oriented with the internet, if they aren't already. This assignment could also be a group or individual activity.
