 The Internet is usually the first stop for students conducting research, but many of them do not know how to search efficiently or effectively. Often they are not aware that information gathered from the Internet varies widely in quality and relevance. Students begin this lesson by discussing how the Internet differs from more traditional sources of information. Then they view an interactive PowerPoint presentation that covers Internet search strategies, features of several search engines, and citation of Internet sources.

Student Objectives

 * Students will consider and discuss the nature of the Internet, comparing it with more traditional information sources
 * Students will explore and practice efficient ways to search on the Internet
 * Students will learn the importance of attributing Internet sources, and practice a format for citation of sources
