I have learnt
how to create a power search in order to improve results through:
-Being
much more specific
-Using
the symbols to add or subtract
-Using
quotation marks to multiply
-
Combining
symbols
All
these will always help me in power searching for more accurate information in a
short time.
I have also
learnt that some end words also can help like ….PDF…SLIDESHARE …PPT among
others.
Identifying what
would be the best website was most challenging; I had to consider the following
ideas
What grade do i teach, what level of skills
and understanding my students have reached, and the purpose of the web
resource found. Some resources are static and other resources are
interactive. These things all affect the evaluation of the site's value as a
resource for learning.
