What did you learn? What material was new to you? What were the three most important things you learned in today's lesson/independent practice?
Well today we just went over what it means to get r.e.a.l. Getting real is a way to examine a web page to see if the information is real or not. The R stands for read the url. E is examine the content of the web page. A is ask about the author and L is look at the links. With these tools you can accuratlly tell if this is a reputable site or not. This helps in the case where you need to make sure that the information you are getting is correct. There have been Cases where kids have went on bias websites and got the wrong information as Ms. S was telling us.

Well today I learned about a different way to make a virtual index. When you put site: then your website and a key word it comes up with every site that has your keyword in it. This makes it easyer when you are trying to look something specific up. We did a worksheet to help us practice the site command. I will use this tool when i am doing any type of research paper.

Well today we learned a more advanced way of narrowing searches from the previous day. Today we learned how to narrow searches on sites from different countries. For example searching shoes stores in the uk. It would be link:.com. uk + sneakers. Then it would narrow you results down making it easy to find exactly what you are looking for. I found interesting because I always thought that you had to search through the thousands of search results google always gives you. This tool makes searching the web faster and easier.

Well today in class we leaned how to narrow down your choice results in google. By putting Link: and then your selected extension and what you want to look up it now shows for example all .com websites with cars in the name. This is useful if your looking for something about medicine and you want to make sure it is a approved site.
