Hello everyone this is Brian’s week 5 blog for LIS 568. This weeks topic is searching and communicating. One of the most interesting things I read this week was found at the 21st century Information Fluency website and was a blog written by Dennis O’Connor it is called Teach Your Kids the Secrets of Smart Web Searching. It includes 4 sections 1)Helping Your Child Search Like a Pro, 2) Why it [searching] Matters, 3)Tips for Effective Online Searches, and 4)Great Google Searching Shortcuts. This blog describes great tips to help students do searches faster and more effectively and many I had not heard of before
The two Google Game articles I found to be very useful and effective. In fact I may try employing a similar game to get my students excited about searching. However, for the winners I might give away prizes like pencils, erasers, or books as rewards
Lastly I found the Google Squared site to be a little complicated. I don’t know if I’ll actually try it. That’s it for now I’ll write again next week.
