The BCK2SKOL lessons have been reviewed periodically to correct broken links (each page's date reflects the last revision).

Copyright, Jamie McKenzie, 1996, All rights reserved. We (the Bellingham (WA) Schools learned quickly that old approaches to student research were inadequate to meet the essential learning goals set by the district and were ill suited to the information rich environment we had created with our 1500 PC WAN (wide area network). With all those computers and all of those classrooms connected to great information on CD-ROMs and the Internet, we needed to re-invent our concept of research, upgrading the questioning and elevating the reasoning required while adding a "teaming" component.
