Getting your Google Search on

Let's start the 2016-2017 school year by teaching our students how to search. Let's not simply ask them to search. Let's teach them HOW. Being able to search, find, and evaluate information are critical skills. Think about how many times a day you use them. However, it's often assumed students just know how to search, find, and evaluate. On something this critical, it's not beneficial to students to just assume.

So, I've prepared some of my favorite search, find, and evaluate strategies built into Google in one presentation: Become a Search Ninja. Know of more? Share with me!
