What’s next?
Class Presentation
We offer three projects that you can design to be used as an assessment opportunity or as extended learning opportunities.
1. Research Project: Students or teams can conduct research on a topic of interest chosen by the student or teacher. The research should include students noting which internet search queries or operators they used. (Teaming Option: this project is an excellent opportunity to support other classes by having students’ research projects coincide with a topic, person, etc. in another area of study e.g., Social Students, History, Science).
2. Class Presentation: Students or teams can prepare a class presentation demonstrating how to perform an internet search. (Teaming Option: this project could be tailored to support other courses. For example, the presentation theme could coincide with what’s being taught in Mathematics or English).
3. Classroom Research: Students or teams could conduct research for teachers. (Teaming Option: students could perform research for other subject teachers).
