Created for Google Search: Tips and Tricks for Educators and Students, a PSESD breakout session during Just Google It!, a day-long workshop sponsored by the Washington Learning Source and DigitalEdge.
Based loosely around the ideas presented during a Google Search for Educators class held during Summer, 2011, we will discuss how we think when we search and the idea of search literacy. Are we teaching students the skills they need to be effective searchers? Do we recognize these skills in ourselves?
Examine how choosing the best Google Search tool and thinking carefully about search terms and operators will help you be a more effective searcher. Explore the Google A Day and the Google Web Search Evangelism websites for more resources. Learn more about how to search more effectively so you can teach your students how to do the same.
