Presented by the University of South Carolina, the 'Bare Bones 101' is a series of quick lessons on refining your Internet searches, and it may even clue you in to some search engines that you never knew existed! Of particular interest to Internet historians is the "Graveyard of Dead Search Engines," featuring the Web searchers that didn't make the cut.

The first lesson would be excellent to run through with a class when you're teaching research strategies!
