But how do I create lessons?

Even if I wanted to use blogs, where do I find the material out of which to create lessons?

And you can use search engines like:

to find the content that you need.

Here the teacher's role is to be both sieve and architect, putting together material from the Internet into a package that is pedagogically sound and customised to meet the needs of his/her students.
