Presenter: Becca Cahill
While many of us do our Internet searching exclusively via Google,
other alternatives deserve a closer look. In this workshop we’ll take a
look at the top search engines, Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, and explore
their ease of use, search features and result rankings. We will also
learn some quick shortcuts that will allow you to target your search
with greater precision and winnow out the “junk.” Finally, we’ll talk
about some alternative ways of accessing reliable information online
that can save time and also help your students as they begin to explore a
possible research topic.
