Dan Russell has provided the inspiration for numerous of the web research study lessons that I have conducted with trainees for many years. Each week he publishes an intriguing search difficulty for readers then provides the answers a few days later on. The challenges differ in problem, however I constantly learn something from them regardless of how difficult they are. A couple of years ago he posted a difficulty called
Whats In Common? In the years because, Ive used various modifications of that difficulty to help trainees discover and practice making use of a range of search tools and methods.
The Whats In Common? obstacle asks you to determine the shared attributes of two or more images, occasions, and or scenarios. In Dans original post he asked readers to find the commonness between three floods and he asked readers to find the commonalities between 3 plants.

What I like about the
Whats In Common? challenge is that I can make it as simple or as challenging as I require it to be based upon my trainees existing skill levels. I may make one difficulty based on checking out the material of websites that trainees discover while searching and make another challenge based on being able to find and use the meta data in images.

In addition to his blog site, Dan Russell has an excellent book titled
The Joy of Search. That book is packed with ideas for ending up being a better users of online search engine..
