Dan Russell has offered the motivation for much of the web research study lessons that I have actually performed with trainees for many years. Weekly he publishes an interesting search obstacle for readers then provides the responses a few days later. The difficulties vary in difficulty, however I always find out something from them despite how challenging they are. A couple of years ago he posted a difficulty called
Whats In Common? In the years considering that, Ive utilized different adjustments of that difficulty to assist students find and practice utilizing a variety of search tools and strategies.
The Whats In Common? difficulty asks you to recognize the shared qualities of two or more photos, occasions, and or scenarios. In Dans initial post he asked readers to discover the commonalities in between 3 floods and he asked readers to discover the commonalities between 3 plants.

What do these two share besides being dogs?

What I like about the
Whats In Common? difficulty is that I can make it as easy or as hard as I need it to be based on my trainees existing ability levels. For instance, I might make one challenge based upon reading the content of websites that students discover while browsing and make another difficulty based on being able to find and use the meta information in images.
