[Genealib] Online Genealogy Class

[genguide at comcast.net]

1. Consider what your students will want. Briefly present the many online options: search engines, free and subscription websites specific to family history, wikis, blogs, bots, Google Earth (and similar), networking sites (Facebook, Linked In, etc.), online data storage....

2. A computer lab where each student can explore during class is ideal. Present live but have backup slides.

Please let us know how it goes!
