"As the search engine that’s become its own verb, Google’s success is difficult to frame.
One of the most telling examples of their gravity in search is how few legitimate competitors they have. (Some would say they have none.)"

When you ask students what search engine they use the answer tends to be Google...and their tendency is to look at the first four or five results (this is from my experience with students).
This post provides a look at "innovative ways to use Google search in the classroom...[with] the intended outcome [to be] the students sustained ability to self-direct and manage the search process as the digital universe continues to evolve."
What are some of the ideas? Read below and then click through to the post to learn of others.
* Locate 3 sources of information that support an idea, and rank them in terms of their credibility.
* Have students record immediate but brief think-alouds for why they choose to click on certain search results while skipping others.
* Defend or critique the process of Googleing entire questions (versus simply Googleing key words and phrases).
Consider picking a number of these ideas and using them with students in your class this year...and share with other teachers in your school. It is not only students whom need to upgrade their search skills.
