Step 2: Find What You Need
Learning Objectives
The student will:
- Make sense of internet search results and find relevant results
- Determine whether a source is reliable
- Broaden or narrow their search strings in order to get more relevant results
- Appropriately use social media to find information
- Take quick, preliminary notes on possibly relevant sources
Overview
Do your students breeze through internet search results, easily weeding out irrelevant results and finding exactly what they need? No? This step offers a detailed look at how to search for and find reliable, relevant information on the internet. Students practice going through a set of sample search results, then use a guided process to compile a list of possible information sources about their issue.
