Google’s Mission
Online content

Billions of web pages
Offline content

Billions of items becoming
indexed
To organize the world’s information
and make it universally accessible
and useful.
A New Digital Divide
• Those who know how to “think” about search
vs. those don’t.

• Those who know how to validate soft
information vs. those don’t.

• Those who know where to find information in
new “hot” channels vs. those don’t.

• Those who understand the current culture of
informal languages vs. those don’t
A New Digital Divide
• Those who know how to get information to
travel to them vs. those who still chase it.

• Those who have the knowledge and skills to
create and re-mix digital media vs. those who
don’t.

• Those that understand that learning is a
continual process vs. those that view learning
as achievement.

-Helen Blowers
Guiding Thoughts
• Search is the essential 21st century skill.

• The responsibility of teaching search to
kids lies within the entire school
community. 

• How can educators help students to
organize, access, and leverage their
collection of information in useful ways?

Control + F
Organizing a Search
What is it I’m looking for? 

(think about common keywords) 

How would someone else talk about it? 

(what words would they use? how would THEY describe it?) 

Which of those terms would be most common? 

Which of those terms would be very specialized to this topic?

What kind of thing would make me happy? 

(do I want a single web page, a definition, a collection, an image.... or … ?)
35
Keyword Choice
Think about what you are trying to find

Choose words that you think will appear on the page

Put yourself in the mindset of the author of those words

Use synonyms

Start broad and use just a few words, then go deep

Use contextual terms
36
Other Search Tips	
Use specifiers 

Example: [Illinois population wikipedia]

Try an image search when normal means fail, you might find
something that will be useful or spark your interest in a different way. 

Word order matters—when it’s not working one way, try another. 

When searching for common phrases, don’t leave out the “stop
words.” 

Use double quotes to find a particular sequence of words 

Example: “Daniel M Russell” , “L Frank Baum”, “Chicago Bulls”

Keep in Mind
Everything is searchable.
Control + F is incredibly useful.
Nothing stays constant on the web.
Advanced Search and Preferences are available with each product.
RSS feeds are usually also available.
Just about every product has a team blog.
