Web search can be a remarkable research tool for students - and we've heard from educators that they could use some help to teach better search skills in their classroom.
The following Search Education lessons were developed by Google Certified Teachers to help you do just that. The lessons are short, modular and not specific to any discipline so you can mix and match to what best fits the needs of your classroom. Additionally, all lessons come with a companion set of slides (and some with additional resources) to help you guide your in-class discussions.
Google is the most powerful search engine available, but when it comes to
searching for something specific, Google may churn out general results for some.
For instance, a search for a song in Google may return the singer, the lyrics
and even fan sites - depending on the keywords you entered.
This is when niche-specific search engines comes into the picture. These
search engines allows you to search for the things you're looking for, and
because they are more focused, their results tend to be more accurate.
E-books & PDF files, audio & music, videos, etc. are probably the
most commonly searched items everyday and with this list, you'll be able to
locate them easily from now on. Enjoy!
