• NEVER arrange to meet anyone in person whom you have met on-line without first consulting a parent.

• Be aware that people may not be who they appear to be on-line. Someone who claims to be a teen aged girl could be a 40-year-old man.

How to Use Internet Safely?


Trust your instincts. •If someone is sending you email or chat requests that make you feel uncomfortable, listen to your feelings. •You don't have to respond to someone or do anything that you don't want to. •If someone contacts you on-line in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, tell your parents. •Parents can contact your, or the sender's, Internet service provider and ask them to monitor the situation.

Remember that the Internet is similar to the rest of the world. You should use the same common sense there as you would on the street or in the mall.

Today’s Session

What will you learn from today’s session?

1. What is the best way to search for information related to your homework

2. How to use Google Search to find good websites

3. How to summarize all the information into a good answer


Using Internet for Research

Guidelines to search Internet for what you want:

Step 1: Understand what is your homework…– What exactly are you looking for…write it down– Make sure that whatever you find on the internet exactly matches

what your homework asked for – If it does not match exactly, then your teacher might ask you to do it

again… this takes more time

Tip: Ask your parents or teacher for help if you need it




Step 2: Be exact about your search…– Open up Google search… http://www.google.com– We want to search for “The Portland Blazers Basketball Team”

a) Bad Example = type in “Portland”… • returns loads of stuff about Portland, but nothing about “Portland Blazers”

b) Good Example = type in “Portland Blazers Basketball Team”• Gives you link direct to Portland Blazers website

Tip: If you just want images, use the Images button at top of Google page




Step 3: Make sure you select the right website…– Scroll down the page to see all possible websites– Read the short description for each website to see if it is what you

want– Click on the website link highlighted in big blue writing to go into the

website– When in website, read it careful, does it answer your homework?– If it is not giving you the exact answer to your homework, then you

may need to go back out to main Google Page and look at other links

Tip: If website says “Official”, then this is a good site to go to




Step 4: How to use the website to answer your homework– Read and understand all the information on the page– Write down on a notepad the important information that you saw– When you have finished reading the website & have written down the

important information, then search some other websites– Read all websites that you need to so that you have all the

information for your homework– Combine everything you have written into one answer that makes

sense.

Tip: Ask for help from parent or teacher to make sure you have answered your

homework04/19/23 Property of Bienestar 10

be included at the end of the slide show for your teacher.– Example: (“Writing Executive Summaries”, 2007)
