How To Make Students Better Online Researchers - EdTechReview™ (ETR)

How To Make Students Better Online Researchers - EdTechReview™ (ETR) | EdTech Tools | Scoop.it
Learn How To Make Students Better Online Researchers. Getting kids to really focus on what exactly they are searching for, and then be able to further distill idea into a few key specific search terms is a skill that we must teach students.
Patty Ball's insight:

Planning the map inside your head is the most important task of a man. Without a plan a person is just a clueless wanderer. And into the vast oceans of information a wanderer is just bound to be lost. Map in your mind, what is research all about, what are the key points and what you hope to achieve as the conclusion of this research and does your information smoothly flows proving towards your conclusion? This makes the job of searching easier.

Teaching Students Better Online Research Skills

Teaching Students Better Online Research Skills | EdTech Tools | Scoop.it
Many educators are explicitly teaching online research skills, such as how to evaluate a website's credibility, how to use precise keywords, and how to better mine search engines.

The idea of having a class 'searcher' is brilliant!  This rotating responsibility gives students a chance to practice their skills in the classroom without having to add to the curriculum.

Great idea as we move to more integration of ICL into the classroom.
