These are a few of my favorite things

Thing 17 - One new thing
A former student came back to ask me (after school) to help him with his taxes. Forgetting for a moment about "reliable resources" and hopping onto Google to find the government forms I entered what I thought would be a website with government docs.

Much to my surprise and to the student sitting next to me, came up a very pornographic site and buried in my memory I recalled some mention of such a site masquerading in some innocent wording such as gov docs.


My shock at having it open up and quickly closing it and explaining to the student that you should be careful to use reliable web sites with both of us crimsoning a little, it was definitely "one new thing."

I can't remember the web site due to the confusion surrounding it but you're welcome to explore it on your own....maybe not at school even though it obviously wasn't blocked there!
