Effective Internet Searching.
by Sarah Hegney
1. Searching:
1.1. Use key words to make the search more specific. It's a good idea to get students to type in the word 'kids' to their search so age appropriate websites come up.
2. Delve:
2.1. Don't just accept the first few results, but instead take the time to search further down at a range of different websites. Use Search Engine Optimization.
3. Source:
3.1. It is important to note the URL to see if the website is coming from a reliable source such as an educational or government institution.
4. Valdity:
4.1. It is smart to check information on more than one source as you cannot always believe what you read.
