      Actually - what worked is Saturn -car. You don't need quotes but you do need to place a space after the word Saturn and before the "-".
  • Finding the right search engine or database is also an important step in conducting online research,
  • Google Scholar
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Google Books
  • type in a key word and the word "kid" after it. Doing so pulls up results for younger students.
  • checking whether its URL ends in a .com, .org, .gov, or .edu.
  • a lesson called "Whodunit," which takes students to various sites and has them answer questions about who wrote the information, what their credentials are, and who is sponsoring the site.
  • a checklist to help students decide whether sites are credible. It includes questions such as: Are there dead links? Do images support the stated facts? Are there links and references to other websites, and resources and experts that corroborate the information?
  • language comes on too strong and the attempt is to persuade readers how to think
  • teaching a media-literacy unit
  • "If you don't take time to do it, the kids aren't going to be giving you their best work,"
  • integrated searching into her classroom by creating a classroom job of "searcher." That student's responsibility was to search the Internet for answers to questions that would come up during the day's class. Ms. Shaw used that approach as an opportunity to talk about strategies for good online research.

      A great idea! Indirect instruction plus careful modeling in class. Then outsource discussion questions as a homework assignment to the class "searcher." Eventually students will teach one another the skills.
  • Teachers should give credit to the process of searching, not just for the final product, she added. Students can turn in search logs or annotated bibliographies to emphasize that process.
  • it's vital to reinforce those skills repeatedly in working with students.
  • Every context is different.
  • predict the results they expect to see when they type in search terms,
  • November 2012, the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project released a study that surveyed 2,067 Advanced Placement and National Writing Project teachers.
  • You need precise words
  • while most teachers agreed that the Internet provides a wealth of information to students, they also said students often don't have the digital-literacy skills to wade through that information.
  • skim search results for words that pop up, especially unfamiliar words.
  • For instance, if a student wanted to find information on immigrants who send money back to their home countries, the term "remittances"
  • quotation marks around their search terms to get results that include the exact wording
  • minus sign eliminates something from a search.

    The six Dimensions of Inquiry are: Questioning, Locating Information, Evaluating Information, Applying Information, Sharing Knowledge and Reflecting. Together they represent the inquiry process. Standards now require that inquiry be taught across all content areas and all grade levels. The IMatrix System allows you to see the hierarchical scaffolding of skills in these dimensions from early grades through high school...

    I have signed-up for an account. The LS assessments look really on target. I have heard some negative feedback about the US assessment but still think this is worth looking at for possible tool to benchmark skills. -Faith TRAILS is a knowledge assessment with multiple-choice questions targeting a variety of information literacy skills based on 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th grade standards. The assessment items are based on the American Association of School Librarians' Standards for the 21st-Century Learner and those from the Common Core State Standards Initiative that have been adopted by most states. The Web-based system was developed to provide an easily accessible and flexible tool for school librarians and teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses in the information-seeking skills of their students. It is made available at no cost to users.
