      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.

    I was struck by the empahsis on planning for presentation space as part of the design for a library. The format of the final product or outcome of a research project in years to come will involve sharing in ways we have probably not yet considered, much less designed in our school spaces.

    Here's an article about Ohio's iMatrix from "Teacher Librarian"; I'll also post the link to iMatrix itself. It looks like a fancy version of what we are trying to do with our google site, and it's also searchable by skill or grade level. What keeps you up at night? Educating students to be college and career ready? Incorporating inquiry into your teaching for the very first time? Shifting your instruction to explore topics in greater depth and at more rigorous levels of learning? Or are you struggling to incorporate formative instructional assessment?

    "Teachers often ask, 'Why should I teach more than one citation style?' Some argue that students should learn just one style well. Since they are comfortable with MLA, they assign it for everything. That made sense in the past ...

    Debbie Abilock referred to data from this site in one of her presentations. I think it could be a good resource for History and English departments. The Citation Project is a multi-institution research project responding to educators' concerns about plagiarism and the teaching of writing. Although much has been written on this topic and many have expressed concerns, little empirical data is available to describe what students are actually doing with their sources.
