Dan Russell has actually supplied the motivation for a lot of the web research lessons that I have actually performed with trainees over the years. Each week he publishes a fascinating search obstacle for readers then provides the answers a couple of days later. The challenges vary in trouble, however I always learn something from them no matter how hard they are. A few years ago he posted an obstacle called
Whats In Common? In the years given that, Ive used various modifications of that obstacle to help students discover and practice making use of a variety of search tools and techniques.
The Whats In Common? obstacle asks you to recognize the shared characteristics of two or more photos, occasions, and or situations. In Dans original post he asked readers to discover the commonalities between 3 floods and he asked readers to find the commonalities between three plants.

What do these two share besides being canines?

What I like about the
Whats In Common? difficulty is that I can make it as easy or as hard as I require it to be based upon my trainees existing ability levels. I may make one obstacle based on reading the material of web pages that trainees find while browsing and make another difficulty based on being able to discover and use the meta information in images.
