Summary: This article provides search strategies for elementary and
middle school students. The author describes 4 internet research strategies and
tips in the article that includes searching in various search engines and
checking their spelling just in case because not all search engines
automatically correct typos. The article emphasizes the importance of having a
search strategy as well as learning discrete steps in retrieving information. The
author also suggests that kids should use search tools designed specifically for
kids, such as Searchopolis, Kids Click!, Ask Jeeves for Kids, Awesome Library,
and Yahooligans!
Evaluation/Opinion: I was unaware that there were
search engines designed for kids. This article is really helpful in providing practical
tips for helping students search the internet. Thus, I would highly recommend
this article for teachers and librarians to read.
