Google Research Thoughts

It took some time with the computer and the printer. I printed up most of the lessons and took notes on the paper in addition to reading it online. I learned a bit about how to do detective work on sites using good old Google researching authors of web sites. I want to learn more in class. Can we actually see what type links a web site attracts?
Though weather, movie times, trends in web presence, stock prices, and so much more is available, I wonder how much scholarly research is being indexed, or if that' s the inaccessible web.

  1. Jane I am wondering what you think about the Lessons and Quiz? When would you work on these with your students? Do you have time in class?

  2. Hi, Diane.
    I believe my students would adore doing web scavenger hunts. They would like learning how to be power users with all that was shown. We might make some time as we start the research part of our persuasive essay.
