Editor's Notes
- Students do not use Wikipedia as your first and only source. Most teachers discourage any use of the website since not all the results are verified or up-to-date. Use the expert resources which we will talk about
- Show how to access the “Library & Learning Resources” tab from the student portal
- Teach students to search more efficiently and filter results with basic Boolean operators An example is to search “texting and driving”. This means that a site will need to have information on both “texting” and “driving” for the site to show up.•is used to expand a search. An example is “Apples or Oranges” which will look for sites with either “apples” or “Oranges” in it.•
