Internet Search Tips

Whether you teach students who are ten years old or forty years old there will be times when they turn to you and say, "I can't find anything about this" while they are researching. In most cases the problem isn't that the Internet doesn't hold any information for them. Rather, the problem is that students don't know enough strategies to help them dive deeper in their Internet research. In the slides embedded below Richard Byrne shares his favorite search tips. The slides also include some videos that demonstrate how to use the methods he has mentioned. Good tips! (From freetech4teachers.com)

The fourth slide refers to the keyboard shortcut that enables you to search for key words in a document or on a webpage. On a Mac, it is Command + F. A Google survey found that only 1 in 10 computer users are aware that this feature exists. Are you part of the 10%?
