[LM_NET] HIT: Google Game Questions

[AMY PALAIA <palaiabrian@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

Dear LM_Net:

Here are the updated questions I used for the Google game found at: 
http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6296500.html

I made up most of the questions myself and they worked well with the group of 
paraprofessionals that were doing an hour long tech training- I think it would work 
well with high school or middle school too. Many of you requested that I post a 
hit.  The number of hits will vary depending on your search string.  Thank you!
