A Google a Day

What if there were a trivia game that actually allowed and encouraged you to use Google? A Google a Day is just that. Each day a new question is posted. Once the answer for the day is revealed it also provides search tips for finding that answer. This could be a great way to generate warm-up or bellringer questions and teach search techniques at the same time!
