There has never been more information, more readily available, to more students than this moment and it will only continue to increase. Before beginning research with your students consider using some of the resources below to help our students find more useful results when searching for information. Google Advanced Search  (direct link) Google Search Help - Refine Web Searches Better Searches...Better Results  (poster) Google's  Search Literacy Lesson Plans  (lesson plans/activities) A Google A Day Challenges  (activities) Google Search Tips  (infographic/poster) These resources were gathered and are shared by me (Melinda Waffle) and CJ Walker, educational technology colleague at Jackson County ISD.
