Instruction
Framing the Session
The Internet provides boundless
resources.
This “bounty” requires
organization on the part of
teacher and can often be
overwhelming to students.
Google: Your Typical Source
Your Typical Results
Many students have difficulties
finding websites with quality
content that are written at the
appropriate reading level.
