2. Website Name
I chose to do the United States Department of
Education because my topic was an educational issue.
3. Topic and Search Terms
I used the information search bar at the top of the
home page to conduct my research. I simply typed in
STEM Education.
4. Search Agents and Limiters
On this particular website they didn’t have much of a
way to filter your results, as it was mostly a google type
search. However, they did have information based on
whether you were a student, educator or other
professional.
5. Understanding
Overall, I really liked the information given
on this site. I found all of the information
really useful for my research and it was
credible because it was all provided by a
credible government based source.
If I were to conduct research in the future
I would definitely use a site such as this
one.
6. Opinion
In my opinion this site was very helpful and
it had many useful articles and statistics
that Academic Search Premier and other
databases didn’t have.
However, there were not many ways to
limit your search and there weren’t many
articles that had sources or a place to see
citations.
