Strategies for showing simple steps for researching.

Eric Coreas's curator insight, April 4, 2016 12:29 AM
This is actually a power point on strategies for reading and writing articles from Scholarly Journals. The writer is actually a high school student and lists steps on how to do this. She writes mainly the basics on how to do this. The information she gives is pretty accurate as well. Nonetheless this writer did a god job in listing these steps because they can come in handy for people who struggle with things like this. The writer’s audience would be anyone who struggles reading and writing these articles and would like to learn the basics. The writer’s main point is to teach the reader these strategies that way they can use them when dealing with this. I think even if the this is written by a high school student it comes from a credible source because this power point has over 10,000 views. The student did a nice job in presenting these strategies.

When working with students to develp information fluency it is very useful to get them to explore alternatives to the two major search engines taht most people rely on.  This broadening of search strategy also helps limit the effect of "filter bubbles" 

 

If you're not sure what a filter bubble might be then you will be shocked when you read and watch this: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2011/05/12/the-filter-bubble/

A brief History of Social Media (1969-2012)

A brief History of Social Media (1969-2012) | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

Here’s the thing: the history of social media actually goes back a lot further, and its roots can be found in blogging, Google, AOL, ICQ, the beginnings of the world wide web and, perhaps surprisingly, CompuServe.

I remember geocities and ICQ, and my first blog was a Livejournal. Interesting to see how long some things have really been around for.

The question, "what time is it?" does not have one right answer.  The correct answer is dependent on your location on the Earth and the cultural and political conventions of the society in which live.
