Use Web 2.0 technologies Collaborative interaction With teachers and each other Inquiry-based learning Need a quality research process
 * Engage students:**

The Savvy Seven Research Process This is just one process but the resources and ideas can transfer to any research model.

Webnote - [|www.aypwip.org/webnote] Create little notes of different color. Brainstorm different ideas. Filter notes by searching for certain words. Could also use them as online notes as they research. What do we know… What do we want to learn… What questions should we ask… What is our essential question…
 * Step 1: What is the Question?**

Other resource: [|Voicethread] [|Imaginationcubed] Moodle - Discussion group

Self assessment - form to fill in Class discussion How did it work? What could we do better next time? Student performance rubric Rubric for 21st Century Learner Standards
 * Assessment:**

Gliffy [|www.gliffy.com] Create a flow chart of what you are going to do (Inspiration) Primary sources vs. Secondary Sources [|www.mywebspiration.com] [|Bubbl.us]
 * Step 2: What Resources Should I use?**

Self assessment Score the diagram/web
 * Assessment:**

iGoogle - [|www.google.com/ig] Each student creates their own page Add sticky notes **Step 4: How do I gather the Information?** [|Delicious] Keep track of website Use notes to remember what you thought about the site Use tags to organize it
 * Step 3: How do I find the information?**

Wiki's Zoho Wiki - [|www.wiki.zoho.com] Share information as a class research project Create a table and have students fill in information Different pages with different subtopics Only one person can edit at a time Voxopop (podcasts) - [|www.voxopop.com] Create a talkgroup Students can discuss their findings in that talkgroup Students can type some messages (brief description of discussion) Students can record to respond to the discussion.
 * Step 5: Which Information do I use?**
 * Step 6: How do I share what I learned?**

Survey Monkey - [|www.surveymonkey.com] Have students come up with questions - 2 about process and 2 about content Dipity Keep a log of the process   <span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Thinking Globally <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">

 * More from the presenter:**
 * What information am I looking for? **
 * Where will I find the Information? **

Speculating – 1 in 5 chance of guessing the word you will need. What word will give me the information I need?

** How will I get there? ** Are students drawn to do one more than the other? - Search engine

Students often browse (clicking links) Search engine – once you have the search you begin to browse.

Is it good information? Can I find better key words?

Query quiz for better searching. [] Elementary Quiz Games [] Google doesn’t search all the words you type. It eliminates insignificant words. More doesn’t mean better. Google will actually only show you 800 of the listed results. Keep it short. Break it up into concepts: who, what, where, when… 2-3 concepts at most in a search Others are alternates
 * Searching **

Record the queries: NESTOR Prints a spreadsheet to analyze Google forms will track the searches and send it to your google docs

Google docs – using forms give quizzes, etc

Gold Rush [] Bunny Cam [] Author Challenge [] Do link searches in yahoo. More results than google.
