Internet search: Activity

The activity consists of resolving a search challenge.

a) In which format does your project have to be presented?

This task has to be done as a voice recording. The sound file must last from 2-3 minutes.  During the recording, you have to give a solution to the challenge and reflect how you did your search.

Once you have finished, save your recording and publish it in SoundCloud (It's free and you can register directly on Soundcloud or through a social networking site). Once your file has been uploaded to Soundcloud, make it public and copy the URL.

Paste this link in the corresponding task in order to be evaluated.

b) Your project must include:

1. The solutions for the challenge.
2. The explanation of how you went about finding the answers.
3. Your reflexions about the process that you followed.
4. Your effort and involvement will be evaluated so your exposition must clear and concise. For this reason, it's important that you reflect and take notes about  the process you take as you are doing the challenge.

Here are some sample questions that may help you to prepare the oral exposition:

- Which miniOP steps were useful? Which were not? Why?
- Which process did you follow during the search? Did you work alone or were more people involved: family, friends, etc...?
- Which pages did you have to visit? Many? Few?
- In which moment did your search take you away from the objective? Did you learn anything?
- How long did it take you to resolve the challenge?
- Have your searching strategies changed from previous searches?  What did you do differently this time?
- Briefly explain your opinion about miniOP and the challenge you were asked to do.

c) Challenge

To resolve the problem, you will have to use what you have learned in miniOP.

- Use several search engines
- Revise the choice of key words
- Observe the list of resuls
- Put into practice the search operators, images, file type...
- Pay attention to the web pages' credibility

Remember that if you have any doubts or questions, you can use the Internet search forum to ask for help. Remember not to give direct answers in this forum but rather try to give advice or ask rhetorical questions which will help your peers to reflect about the answers on their own.
