Slide 3 Information-(Analyze)->Knowledge">
Searching on the Internet Volume of data Data is still
exploding Internet: 5M Terabytes, increasing by 100 Tb/Mo Brain:
10Tb stored data - maybe more, because of better compression and
indexing Quality of the data "There are four kinds of lies: Lies,
damned lies, statistics - and the Internet" Mark Twain (if he were
still around) Goal:
Data-(organize)->Information-(Analyze)->Knowledge
Slide 4
Student Searching Problems Search term/keyword selection -
wrong keywords, extraneous words, inexperience with advanced
searching Shallow searching - only looking at first page of hits
Searching too widely, too deeply, or in the wrong direction
Searching in the wrong dimension Clustering and organizing
hits
Slide 5
Search Engines and Browsers Different algorithms - Google
(crawlers and keywords/tags) vs Yahoo (human indexing) Ordinary
search interfaces appeal to read/write learners Visual search
engines appeal to visual and even kinesthetic learners
Slide 6
Example: Google Wonder Wheel Introduced 2009 Wheel display of
related searches Based on keywords, similarity Simple interaction
Using Wonder Wheel Run Google search look on left Turn off Search
Settings>instant search Browser-dependent (IE may not work)

engage and assist visual and kinesthetic learners Automatic
detection of related searches can suggest new or different topics
and assist in group work Clustering and organizing of search hits
can aid in the transformation of data into knowledge
