TARGET: Elem: Teaching Internet searching

[Carol Harma <charma@EFN.ORG>]

Hi all,
        There were requests for grades 1,2, and 3 today so I would like to
add mine for grades 4 and 5.  We have a big science project coming up and
these kids need to know how to do searches beyond the basic Yahooligans
searches.  They have a hard time generating keywords, asking good
questions, and you name it.  I am getting frustrated.  What strategies do
you use to teach internet search skills to 4th and 5th graders??  (I am
not interested in any web sites or canned packages just things that have
worked well for you).  I'll post a hit.
Carol Harma, Thurston Elem, Springfield, OR charma@efn.org
PS:  I mentioned search skills but evaluating sites fits in there too.
