Incorporating Search Engine Strategies Into Your Teaching Give students a phrase that is relevant to your course and have them open one of the search engines. Have them try each of the search strategies in the Search Engine Tutorial . Have students discuss the implications of their results. Put students into groups. Have each group open a different search engine, and then have all the groups complete the exercise above.
Students can work individually or in groups to complete the scavenger hunt.
Have students create their own Internet Scavenger Hunts and attempt to stump each other. Have them create a blank form for other students, but a form with all of the searching information filled out for you, so you can check to make sure that the information can actually be found on the Web. This Issue's Activity Let's have our own scavenger hunt. I will begin by posting a question on the English Department discussion list . The first person posting the correct response to the discussion list gets to post the next question.
