Internet Search: Why is it important to choose the right words when you search online?

Learning Target:
  • Today I will learn how to do an internet search
  • Using technology vocabulary (relevant, search engine, search operators, exclude)
  • So that I can research information using the internet
  • I'll know I've got it when I can identify the most effective keywords for a given search.
Discuss with a partner:
  • What kinds of things have you searched for on the Internet?
  • Were you able to find what you were looking for?
  • What frustrates you when you are searching online?
  • Why is it important to choose the right words when you search online?
Watch the BrainPop Video below.  Look for three important search skills in the video.

Internet Search Operators
  • " "  Search for an exact word or phrase ("Mars chocolate bar"
  • +    Include both words (Mars +candy)
  • -    Exclude (leave out) a word  (Mars -candy)
Discuss with a partner: What are three important search skills from the video?
Click on the BrainPop Quiz and choose the Review Quiz.  Make sure to review your results at the end.

Searching Tips

  • Make your keywords as precise as possible. If you're looking for information on Tyrannosaurus rex, don't type in "dinosaurs."  You'll get too much general information about dinosaurs and not enough specific hits about T-rex.
  1. Use two or more keywords in your search, but put the most important keywords first.  For example, if you wanted information about what the T-rex ate, you might use the following keywords in this order:  Tyrannosaurus Rex diet. 
  2. Make sure you spell the keywords correctly.  If you're not sure of a word's correct spelling, use http://dictionary.reference.com
  3. Always try more than one search engine.  Different search engines will usually come up with different results. 
  4. Use Ctrl+F to search for text on a page.
Now click here to take the Internet Search BrainPop Quiz
Watch the Search Shark video below and play Search Shark to practice selecting keywords.
