Why Having Students "Just Google" Is Not Enough With Today's Research Demands...

# data[].attributes.body
The Internet provides access to a wide range of information for students and while students have access to MORE information at their fingertips, the skills they need to be successful students is more than knowing how to use Google.  Students need instruction in digital literacy techniques and learn how to search deeper and learn how to analyze the information they come across on the Internet.  Finding information using Google is not the end of their search, it's just the beginning.

Has the Internet changed the way students conduct research? Yes, and not always for the better, reports to a study released last week by the Pew Research Center, " How Teens Do Research in the Digital World." According to a survey of more than 2,000 middle and high school teachers, "research" for today's students means "Googling," and as a result, doing research "has shifted from a relatively slow process of intellectual curiosity and discovery to a fast-paced, short-term exercise aimed at locating just enough information to complete an assignment."

While teachers in the survey acknowledge the benefits of the web for students-great depth and breadth of information, material presented in engaging multimedia formats, and the opportunity to become self-directed and self-reliant researchers-many of them express concern that easily-distracted students with short attention spans are not developing the skills required to do deep, original research.

From the report: "Some 77% of advanced placement (AP) and National Writing Project (NWP) teachers surveyed say that the internet and digital search tools have had a 'mostly positive' impact on their students' research work. At the same time, 76% of teachers surveyed 'strongly agree' with the assertion that internet search engines have conditioned students to expect to be able to find information quickly and easily."

Here are a few ways teachers, parents and others can help students go beyond Google.
