PETE&C 2009 AL15 Beyond the first 10 Google Hits (L. Jannotta)

Presentation by Sue Sheffer

[|Foreverlearning] Looking at resources available to students for searching other than Google.

nettrekker - already filtered, can search by standard, readability level, can do safe image search!

the Power library - do we have this? Can get there through public library too. Has about 40 000 $ worth of resources on it...

Sometimes good to have students use other search engines

Some I like...[|searchme]- visual, shows page [|melzoo]- also shows page by hovering over item [|spific] - good for narrowing down and finding specific things

[|Wikipedia for Schools]- good for K-8 - can also get a downloaded version.

[|Creating a custom search engine in Google]- allows me to limit what they search. You can embed it into your page or link to it.You can also collaborate with others. You need a google account. Go to even more. Find custom search. Name search engine, etc. Put in specific sites. Used to be a no ad site, but appears to be gone now.

Good book "Web Literacy for Educators" by Alan November

[|Resource for Search Engines]

Video about searching media type="custom" key="3112704"

to search a large site for info (i.e. Library of Congress) type site:domainname and then any additional codes. or, to search a country, type site:de or site:fr and then additional codes.

COOL! put in google search: link:(put URL here) - shows you all sites that are liked to that site

[|Skills by grade level]  [|Wayback Machine]tool - put in link and see all previous versions of a websites! Good links for using Google on her site!

Be aware of hoax sites!
