I didn't know about the Google "define: ..." feature - that's quite handy. It could definitely be useful in sequences (eg, I could do a variation of my What is Psychology sequence where the student themselves have to go find definitions of Psychology, instead of the sequence providing them, and then students could share one they've found back with the class and explain why they chose it - probably using Share Resources with learner sharing enabled).

I couldn't help trying "define:LAMS" - the result is a bit depressing...

"Definitions of LAMS on the Web:

* Light Aircraft Maintenance Schedule (UK).

* Long-range Attack Missiles. Capitals and base planets build these weapons. They are as powerful as GDMs, but are able to hit targets up to five sectors away.
