Searching+the+internet

Before you go ‘surfing’ the internet, think about the words you will use. Using different terms will help you find a broad range of results.

I recommend using Duck Duck Go to help you find great online resources. You can use it just like Google but it doesn’t have all the ads! BUT keep in mind that the information bar is from Wikipedia – so it is OK to read but not OK to use in your school work!

//Here are some tips//.

If you cannot find websites that you think are helpful, try saying words in a different way. Don’t think you have to stick with the results from your first go. Trying something else!

Use speech marks around several words that you want to search for as an exact phrase. See my examples in the keyword suggestion box.

Use AND to join a few keywords to find specific information, like adding Australia to make sure your research result are from Australian resources.
