Search Engines

Search engines are a difficult thing to use in the classroom. There is so much false information out there and it is difficult to sort out what is true and what is false. The kids may have difficulty knowing what sites are useful and what sites are not. Search engines can be helpful for research projects and other activities in the classroom. I will use them in my class but will absolutely teach my kids the proper ways to use them and make sure they know how to sift through information. Search engines can be useful but at the same a danger zone. I have to use caution with them because I do not want to lead my kids in the wrong direction. Overall, search engines have their faults and advantages.
