Wading Through the Web: Teaching Internet Research Strategies
Wading Through the Web: Teaching Internet Research Strategies
Description:
Because the Internet contains a vast amount of information from reliable and unreliable sources, wading through all the material could prove to be overwhelming for students. Learning to view Internet sites with a critical eye will help students become more efficient and effective researchers. In this lesson, students hold a class discussion about Internet research, including the differences between this type of research and traditional research and how to cite sources found on the Internet. Students view an interactive PowerPoint presentation that covers Internet search strategies, features of several search engines, and citation of Internet sources. As students watch, they conduct activities related to the topics introduced in the presentation.
