"Our students have become accustomed to entering a search into Google as soon as they are confronted by a question to which they don’t have an answer on the tips of their tongues. However, if they’re forced to take a few minutes before they search, they often find that they already know the answer. This is why a pre-search checklist should include listing what you already know about a topic. This list can be generated from memory or from notebooks (physical and digital). Not only does this process refresh students' memories, it also saves time in the long-run because they aren't spending time searching for information that they already have."

Good reference list. I didn't realize there were so many search engines.

Students often think that because they can type a phrase into Google or saying something aloud to Siri they know how to search. Of course, any teacher who has heard a student say "Google has nothing on this" or "there's no information about my topic" knows that students don't inherently know how to search despite growing up in a world filled with Google and Siri. When your students need help formulating or refining a search, have them review the following ten tip. Better yet, have them review these tips before starting their next searches.

Placing a tablet or computer on a students desk and expecting them to take off on their own to a planet full of learning excitement is not how technology in the classroom works. In the classroom, the tablet is only a tool when the student uses it as such, and becomes engaged with the content objective ordained by the lesson. In my experience, If my directions and assignment are rudimentary and vague, the student will become bored and stray from the objective. I'd like to share the ideas provided in this article because they are really useful in the classroom. If the assignment involves doing research on the causes of WW2, the students will find a sea of resources online. We ought to guide the student and create a mental guideline they must follow. For instance; David is working on the latter assignment. Now that David found a few sites with reliable information, lets take his learning to a higher level and have him tell you, the teacher, what made him choose one source over the other and how this will help his paper flourish to be informative and accurate.
