Let’s talk a little bit more about Google Search. As soon as Google became a verb, web searching became as common place as sock changing. In fact, as the mom of teenage boys, I would argue that web searching is much more common than changing socks. Today we will be talking about Google Search Education.
Web searching can be a powerful tool in the hands of a student. Let’s follow that metaphor. Would you give your 4th grade students a circular saw and just tell them to cut something? Of course you wouldn’t. So Google is no different, or at least it shouldn’t be. The materials on this site can help you and your students become skilled searchers – no matter where you are in your searching experience.
