Teaching Students How to do Online Research - Rosemary Shaw, techLearning

When I first started teaching technology, I focused more on the technical side, having my students learn how to insert pictures, how to add sounds, and, in general, how to do all the fancy buttons and bells.... The next year, I went to my principal and said, "I want to redesign my class. Instead of teaching technology, I want to teach research. " Since then, no matter what project I have planned, I first teach research skills. I found a list of the six steps to online research, and have used these steps ever since in every class I teach. First, I make my students learn the list of the six steps to online research.
