It seems to me that a better use of the internet for student research on
historical figures would be to teach students how to use either a www search or
a gopher search. I have had my students use the Phys-L and Physhare Lists to
ask technically oriented question. This type of question has always produced
fantastic response. Also the answer to the "why" or "how come" questions
produce a dialogue that demonstrates to my students the interactive aspects of
physics research. They learn that "doing physics" means collaborating, getting
diverse ideas from many sources, doing critical thinking on the results and
then, finally drawing their own conclusion.
The "does anyone have any information on a historical figure should best be
answered by directing the questionee to an internet source rather than directly
answering the question.
The "what would happen if...?" question seems best for the lists.
Just my 3 cents (inflation) worth.
