Greetings, I sure had a great time with our workshop on
Monday. It is gratifying to learn how sophisticated
educators are becoming about technology. I hope that what
I had to share was a value to you and I look forward to
working with you again!

Searching the Internet
Remember that searching the Internet is a process and
not a one step thing. The following is only
a model for beginning the development of your search
skills. Also, remember the search tool that I have
on the Internet at:
http://www.landmark-project.com/search/
| S |
tart with a small
database search tool -- Yahoo |
| |
Conduct
this search to get a grasp on the types of
resources that a available on the Internet. Yahoo
will give you a very good representation. This
gives you a chance to identify both the good and
bad hits you will be getting and a chance to
identify the keywords that are common to both the
good and bad hits, both equally valuable. |
| E |
dit search phrase as a result |
| |
Create
a boolean search expression from the common words discovered in
your Yahoo search. Ex:
(Earthquake OR seismology) NOT (engineer OR
prediction OR individual) |
| A |
dvance into a large
database search engine -- Altavista or Excit |
| |
Use
your edited search expression on a large database
such as Alta Vista or Excite. |
| R |
efine search phrase |
| |
Again,
examine the good and bad hits, identify more key
words and incorporte them in your search expression...refine your search phrase. |
| C |
ycle back and Advance again |
| |
Pretty
clear! |
| H |
arvest resources |
| |
Good Luck! |

Evaluating Web Sites Remember
that we talked about evaluating web sites based on the
goals that you are your students have established for
their information products. There are a number of files
that are available to you for evaluating web resources in
just this way.
