Dan Russell has actually offered the inspiration for many of the web research study lessons that I have conducted with trainees throughout the years. Every week he posts a fascinating search difficulty for readers then offers the answers a few days later on. The difficulties vary in difficulty, but I always discover something from them no matter how difficult they are. A couple of years ago he published a difficulty called
Whats In Common? In the years since, Ive used different modifications of that difficulty to help students find and practice making use of a range of search tools and strategies.
The Whats In Common? obstacle asks you to recognize the shared attributes of two or more photos, events, and or scenarios. In Dans original post he asked readers to discover the commonalities between three floods and he asked readers to discover the commonness in between 3 plants.

What do these 2 share besides being pet dogs?

What I like about the
Whats In Common? challenge is that I can make it as simple or as difficult as I require it to be based upon my trainees existing ability levels. I might make one challenge based on checking out the content of websites that trainees find while browsing and make another obstacle based on being able to find and use the meta data in images.
