1. Teacher Guide
This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you can help the kids if they are having trouble.

3. Use keyboard shortcuts to quickly research and write a short report on Tulfes.
About 15 miles east of Innsbruck in southern Austria lies the Alpine village called Tulfes. In this popular stretch of the Alps, both Tulfes and Innsbruck thrive as ski resorts in winter and as home bases for hikers in summer.
Though Innsbruck might seem quaint to big city visitors, by contrast, Tulfes is positively tiny, with a 2011 census showing fewer than 1,400 residents. But it’s that remote Alpine village charm that draws visitors. And this photo, showing how the sun has melted the frost on only one side of the valley, neatly illustrates the allure: rolling green hills in the summer, snow-covered peaks in winter.
Depending on time, you can either have students read this silently to themselves, have one of them read out loud, or read it out loud yourself.

There are a couple of ways to use this slide, depending on how much technology you have in your classroom. You can have students find answers on their own, divide them into teams to have them do all the questions competitively, or have each team find the answer to a different question and then come back together. If you’re doing teams, it is often wise to assign them roles (one person typing, one person who is in charge of sharing back the answer, etc.)
