What We've Been Doing In Technology

In our technology class, we are now examining search and research skills. Students have learned a little bit about how Google works, and how that knowledge can help us make better searches. We've learned a little about keywords, queries, whether capitalization matters, keyword order matters, and so forth.

Students have also learned criteria to help decide on the reliability of a website. Students even looked at a few websites and judged whether they were reliable or not using those criteria. Our favorite website used and investigated had to be this one on saving the endangered Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus.
