Key learning for this session:
One word searches on a search engine
Bookmarking a web page by creating a favourite
Using the word “kids” or “child’s” or “children’s” in a search
Understanding the order of results returned
Multiple word searches on a standard search engine
Opening multiple web pages without leaving the search
Copying text from an internet page to an office document
Recap the learning from the last session. Maybe look at some of the entries children made in the learning log. Check understanding and ability to use the skills listed above –initially with a demonstration of thumbs up for confident, thumbs down for no idea and in between for in between.
Demonstrate some of the skills most children are unfamiliar with using the Research Skills table. Invite children who think they are confident to check it out by demonstrating to the class.
Bibliography-digital.docxLast session we compared using two search engines designed for children with one designed for adults. This time the children need to use their learning from last time and decide which search engine is best for them to research the topic chosen for the class (e.g. Viking Life?)
Download the Bibliography Sheet and print it off one per child or pair if children are collaborating. Less able children will need a mentor/coach.
Explain what a bibliography is and that instead of books we are collecting a list of USEFUL websites. Demonstrate the sorts of things that could be written in each box of the table.
URL = the address of the webpage. This can be too long to write out so just accept the site address e.g. this page would be sites.google.com rather than https://sites.google.com/sjsapps.co.uk/computing/year-5-internet-use/teachers-notes-2
