Google’s Mission

Online contentBillions of web pages

Offline contentBillions of items becoming

indexed

To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible

and useful.

A New Digital Divide• Those who know how to “think” about search

vs. those don’t.

• Those who know how to validate soft information vs. those don’t.

• Those who know where to find information in new “hot” channels vs. those don’t.

• Those who understand the current culture of informal languages vs. those don’t

Page 7: Beyond Search - GAFE IL Summit

A New Digital Divide• Those who know how to get information to

travel to them vs. those who still chase it.

• Those who have the knowledge and skills to create and re-mix digital media vs. those who don’t.

• Those that understand that learning is a continual process vs. those that view learning as achievement.

-Helen Blowers, Columbus Metropolitan Library

Guiding Thoughts• Search is the essential 21st century skill.

• The responsibility of teaching search to kids lies within the entire school community.

• How can educators help students to organize, access, and leverage their collection of information in useful ways?

Organizing a SearchWhat is it I’m looking for?

(think about common keywords)

How would someone else talk about it?

(what words would they use? how would THEY describe it?)

Which of those terms would be most common?

Which of those terms would be very specialized to this topic?

What kind of thing would make me happy?

(do I want a single web page, a definition, a collection, an image.... or … ?)

Keyword Choice

Think about what you are trying to find

Choose words that you think will appear on the page

Put yourself in the mindset of the author of those words

Use synonyms

Start broad and use just a few words, then go deep

Use contextual terms

Page 31: Beyond Search - GAFE IL Summit

Other Search TipsUse specifiers

Example: [Illinois population wikipedia]

Try an image search when normal means fail, you might find something that will be useful or spark your interest in a different way.

Word order matters—when it’s not working one way, try another.

When searching for common phrases, don’t leave out the “stop words.”

Use double quotes to find a particular sequence of words

Example: “Daniel M Russell” , “L Frank Baum”, “Chicago Bulls”
