====Teacher led activity====
−
#

'''Demonstration 1'''<br>Your teacher will demonstrate for you how to access and organize information on the folder: follow along as she does the following
−
#
+
#Use a search engine to search for information - discuss with your teachers what happens when we do not give good key words
+
#Open the pages returned on each search
+
#She will demonstrate how to search for images, videos and text
+
#Download the resources accessed - the entire web page, image, videos, etc
+
#Your teacher will discuss with you how to legally download materials from the internet and how to use it correctly.
+
'''Demonstration 2'''<br>
+
#Watch your teacher search for the following, "giraffe", "evolution of giraffe", "miraculous evolution of giraffe"
+
#Did you see any difference in the pages returned by the search?
+
#Does this tell you anything about how a search engine works? How can you search more effectively?
+
====Student activities====
+
This is an activity to be done in groups. If adequate internet access is there, individual activities may be done.
+
#Make a concept map for the topic or issue about which you want to research.
+
#In groups, access the internet and download information relevant to your topic.
+
#Organize your downloaded information into folders
+
#In a text document summarize what you have found on your topic. In your document, also give a ranking for your resources and give the reasons for your ranking; this analysis of resource accessed is called meta data of a resource.
+
===Portfolio===
+
#You would have developed a concept map for the topic that you want to research on.
+
#Your text document summarizing your internet research, which should contain links to web pages you have accessed
+
#Your resource folder which should contain your concept map, text document with a summary of resources, images downloaded and web pages saved on the computer.
