Thing 11: Google Advanced Search

I showed the students two weeks ago about the advanced search options on google. They are doing disease research, and I allowed them to use google AFTER they had turned in 3 resourses from the data bases that Linda Wise put together for the project.

I used this page as a reference, and then went through and demonstrated to students how to do each advanced search example, using HIV as an example disease. I spent about 20 minutes on this and today we are going back to the computer lab and we will see if they use it or just default back to the regular google and have to be prompted.
