Searching Tips and Strategies for the Internet

Plan before you search. Think about the following
questions before you start- even write down the
questions you want answered. Don't forget to keep
track of your sources!

*What needs to be done?
*What can I use to find what I need?
*Where can I find what I need?
*What information can I use?
*How can I put my information together?
*How will I know if I did my job well?

Don't Forget!!!

Plan-Do-Review

The internet is not always the best, or fastest,
source for information. Do not forget to evaluate
the information that you find. Check the currency
of the information, who presented the information,
and if it answers the questions you have asked.
Cite your sources and be proud of your work.
