ETL 501: Searching Smart
As part of this blog the cohort of ETL 501 were asked to examine aspects of Google such as maps and advanced search options. Personally I know of a few of the aspects of Google that we were asked to examine and I particularly find Google Scholar to be a useful searching tool when looking for articles on specific topics which is encouragingly endorsed by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki on Triple J. Reflecting on my classroom practices I have neglected to guide my students through a lot of these tools as I thought being a junior campus that these skill were not necessary. I now realize that as part of an educator and reflecting on my learning’s through Teacher Librarianship studies that this is a massive oversight that I will endeavor to change and implement. The video recording on Google Advanced search provided great foundations and platform for additional material and class activities to be created to aid in the Information Literacy development of not only myself but my students as well.
