Control + F

Page 125: Google Tools for Teachers

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 … ?)

125

Page 126: Google Tools for Teachers

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

126

Page 127: Google Tools for Teachers

Other Search TipsUse specifiers

Example: [Georgia 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.” (e.g., [ Lord of the Rings] )

Use double quotes to find a particular sequence of words

Example: “Daniel M Russell” or “Ursula K Le Guin”

127

General Google Strategies

130

Get a Google Account (Gmail gives you a Google account OR you can make a Google account with any email address)

Concentrate on one tool to start

Focus on your own productivity

Remember that great help documentation is built into every Google tool

Encourage your school to sign up for Google Apps

Advocate and educate in your district about the power of these tools
