View What’s Behind a Website With Mouse X-Ray Goggles

Applications for Education.
Mouse.orgs X-Ray Goggles offers a great way for students to see how the code of a web page works.

Mozilla used to provide a fantastic little tool called X-Ray Goggles that let you customize the code and see behind any website. Unfortunately, they shut it down a number of years ago and considering that then Ive been advising that people simply
usage Chromes examine tool to see the code behind a web page. In fact, I even consisted of that in
my weekly newsletter this week. Today I discovered that
Mouse.org uses its own
X-Ray Goggles tool for seeing and modifying the code behind a page..

Mouse.orgs X-Ray Goggles tool lets you see the code behind any websites and change that code to show anything that you want in place of the original text and images. After you have actually made the modifications you can publish a local copy of the websites. In this short video I provide a demonstration of how Mouse.orgs X-Ray Goggles tool works..

As I pointed out in the video, you might use X-Ray Goggles to change an article online to make it a satire story. Then print the page and give it to your trainees to attempt to identify the satire aspects of the story.
