Group #2!!!!
 * 1) Great way to get the history of any given WEB SITE. #11 from the Information Literacy Quiz
 * 2) Shifting Research: Moving to a research mode that makes it useful (yep, the learner is going to have to think!)
 * 3) Evaluating Information: look for a ~ that indicates it probably is a personal site/page
 * 4) Point out to users some sites that are obviously full of incorrect data. It helps to illustrate the need to know your source!! (otherwise one can look like a real fool)

Group 3 How do sites get to the top of Google? Number of hits. So how do we make sure they are good for kids? Topical Research vs. Inquiry Research: Topical is more teacher directed; Inquiry involves students going deeper and using authentic projects, led by critical questions. Evaluating Information on the Internet Reading Web Addresses: extensions - .edu .k12 .ac .sch.com .mil A personal posting usually has pubweb (opinions are used). This is a clue that it is a personal posting.
