Internet Literacy & The Art of
Internet Literacy• Knowing how to retrieve dependable
information from the Internet.• Knowing how to share information on the
internet.
What’s in the box?
• Google is a Search Engine Database• With a partner, answer these two questions:– What do you use Google for? How does Google
work?
Just combing the surface
• Surface web: Webpages that are with the database of search engines (They come up more often)
• Deep web: Undiscovered sites
PageRank
• PageRank is part of what makes Google work. It determines which sites come up first in a search.

Let’s Play With Operators

Quotes
• Putting multiple words in quotes (“ ‘’) searches for them all in sequence– Information Technology – Searches for all sites
with both words in any place and order– “Information Technology” – Only searches for
pages with the two words together
Tilde (~)
• Putting a Tilde (~) in front of a word will search for that word along with all of its synonyms– For example, searching for “~inexpensive” will also
search for cheap, low cost, etc.
