Session 1: Advanced Search Tips and Techniques Thanks for the fun (Bacon #'s), the fascinating (WDYL), and the practical (too many to mention)! As I played around with some of the tips you shared, I tried to keep my students in mind. I think I owe it to them to share some of search tips and shortcuts. We do a lot of research in our social studies units, and too often I just expect them to be proficient searchers. A simple first step is showing them the "Reading Level" option in Google search:

As a teacher, I'm already seeing the usefulness of the search tools with an Image search:

Thanks so much, and I look forward to today's class!

Fish is Fish Poem

Dear Fish…

Fish,

every belief, every creature

has their own meaning and characteristics

some have feathers or hair instead of scales

not everything is a fish

but everything is unique

Fish,

you can glance out of the water,

but the world without water is not for you

you may picture that world

with its grass, animals, and trees

but know that not everything is the way you see it

Fish,

try to enjoy your surroundings

appreciate what you have: an underwater paradise

be grateful for who you are

and for what you can do

Imagine and Imagine

Fish,

you are free to explore the water world

fish can not walk on land they can only go in the sea

you have to understand that we are not all the same

and that is okay

Your pal,

Frog (a.k.a. Mr. Z’s SS Class 2014-5)
