Embedded Files

What do you want to find out?
It is important to know what and why you are researching.
Let's assume you want to find out more about The VIKINGS.
Spend a few minutes thinking with a partner about what you might put into Google, Bing, Swiggle or Kiddle to find out things you don't already know about The VIKINGS.
Make a list:
o Are there any that might bring up adult content? Decide the actions you should take if this happens.
o Are there any that definitely won’t work?
