This is a fully searchable database of all the 780 First Fleet convicts via a number of search options. Searching can be done by name, ship or by crime. The data can be downloaded free of charge provided it is for non-commercial use. This is a great way to introduce students to real data based on real people. There are many opportunities to introduce children to the language of the day through information written in the database based on the occupations listed for some of the convicts.

A very comprehensive outline to evaluate websites by Berkeley University. Could be simplified for middle school students.

Jeff Utecht's blog entry about a novel way to teach students search skills. Give students and start and end point. Eg. 3rd Grade - give students: Rocks and Volcanoes. Start with Rocks and create a search story that gets them to end the search story with how Rocks and Volcanoes are related.
