Effective Searching with Google

It seems so strange to have February 29th on the calendar this year.  I know it was only four years ago when we had our last Leap Year, but it always seems new to me. Why does Leap Year happen anyway? Check out these facts about this special day. I heard someone on the radio say, "We have an extra day this year.  Make the most of it."  I thought that was a great sentiment.  What did you do with your extra day this year?
We will start off class one with a website evaluation review using Kahoot.  Now that you're done cheering about Kahoot, stop and think.......Ahhhhh yes!  You will have a summative assessment on this topic at the beginning of class two this week.  You are ready, so don't be worried.
We will take a look at searching using Google.  Many students are not making the most of searching.  We've talked about evaluating sites, but how do you narrow down the number of sites from which to choose?  We will take a look at an activity which will answer this question.
