  2. More than Google! • Google Scholar – Powered by Google for scholarly info • iSeek – designed specifically for students and educators • Dogpile – searches other search engines to bring the best of the web in one handy results list • MetaCrawler (zoo.com) – meta search engines searches other major search engines • Info.com – filters other search engines Major Search Engines • Google • Yahoo • Bing • Ask • About • AltaVista

  3. Search Properly • # 1: Choose the Right Search Tool or Technique • # 2: Use Boolean Operators • # 3: Use Advanced Search Operators • #4: Google is Not the Only Game in Town • #5: Use MetasearchEngines • #6: Search Intuitively

  4. Boolean Operators • Boolean Operators are simple words (AND, OR, NOT or AND NOT) • Using these operators can greatly reduce or expand the amount of records returned • and (+) narrows the search because it must have both words • NOT (-) eliminates false hits • OR broadens the search

  5. What Am I Doing? STEP #1 • Search the Internet for a minimum of three articles using three different search engines. You may scan the material not read thoroughly. • Compile the data in a Google doc or a MS Word document. You may do this by simply copying and pasting the information for now. CMD + C to copy CMD + V to paste. • Site your documents by placing the URL and the search engine used at the top or bottom of the articles. STEP #2 • Read more thoroughly your articles. Combine all information -- coming up with 10 main topics regarding skills students need after graduation. This may be in the same document or start a new one. • Once you compile your 10 topics email your document to your partner(s) and Mrs. Dowd. STEP #3 • Collaborate with your partner to determine the 10 skills you wish to present to the class.. Matching up topics you have in common. • If you don’t have 10 matching items you will have to decide which topics to include in your 10. • Create a separate document that must be shared with Mrs. Dowd. See the Rubric for additional information on the naming of this file. • You must present your findings to the class.
