Pedagogical activities about the deep web?
Hello all, In one of my classes this semester, I’m spending a day talking about the deep web and would like to give my (undergraduate) students some hands-on experience—something that’s more exciting than explaining how the library’s web page isn’t indexed by Google but that obviously stops short of perusing dark web forums for arms dealers. Have any of you had any success with pedagogical activities that help students experience and understand the deep web? Thanks!

Hi Spencer, Professor Wright's, who is at the Oxford Internet Institute, work might be relevant here. His "subversive technology" <https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/study/courses/subversive-technologies/>course teaches students (myself included) how the deep/dark web works.
