Hi Michael. I really like that badforms.com<http://badforms.com> site.

Incompetence is always interesting - and often more engaging for kids when explaining how to do things well.
Here are some other sites focusing on getting things wrong:

Hi all,
One of the suggested activities from the Advice for Teachers is "using screenshots of ineffective and inefficient online data collection methods, indicate how the online data collection method can be improved”.

Here’s an excellent resource for this task: http://badforms.com/


Cheers,
Michael
