One of the most difficult skills to learn is how to properly research.
Today we have an unbelievable tool at our disposal: Google.
In the past, the difficult aspect of researching was obtaining the resources to learn about a topic.
However, today the most difficult aspect of research is finding the right source about the topic you desire. Because of the internet there is a flood of information available to you. There is more information at your fingertips than every before. In the past, editors and publishers would help verify information was correct. Now anyone can post information onto the internet. You must now work to "discount double check" your resources and verify the information on your own.
A great way to practice the skill of researching is "A Google A Day" - as the site explains "there is no right way to solve it, but there's only one right answer."
