[edit] Web Searching
All educators need to have a reasonably high level of expertise in doing Web searches. In addition, each teacher needs to help his or her students become better at Web searching within the specific disciplines the teacher teaches. Thus, a student taking a history course needs to gain an increased level of history Web searching expertise, while a student taking a biology course needs to gain an increased level of biology Web searching expertise. Students in elementary school need to gain general Web searching skills, and their level of expertise should increase significantly on a year to year basis.
The Internet Public Libraryhas a very nice page of information, complete with active links, designed to help people learn about Web searching. Quoting from the beginning of that page:
- Looking for information on the Web? The sites listed below are some of the IPL's favorite general Internet search engines and web directories. No search engine or catalog is comprehensive, so it's important to use a variety of tools.
