First, we will watch a video from Common Craft titled: "Web Search Strategies in Plain English." This short video gives a quick overview of how Search Engines work, then discusses the use of effective keywords and Boolean search strategies.
Next, we will watch another short video from BrainPop titled: "Internet Search." This also gives a good overview of Internet Search strategies from the perspective of the ever popular Tim and Moby.
We'll discuss what we have seen on the videos, then review key strategies from the website Common Sense Media. Armed with this knowledge, we'll tackle a Internet Search Scavenger Hunt. Students will be required to use at least three different search engines, and list the keywords they used to find the answers to a series of trivia questions.
Parents - Please refer to the following page from Common Sense Media. It's a great resource to have on hand next time your student is working on Internet research at home.
