Cyber Smart

Today Mrs Ogilvie from the national library came to talk to us about smart searching. She gave us a few tips to help us smart search and be cyber smart. She also gave us some good advice on sites that we can use for school. Our first one that she showed us was Epic this had links to sites for pupils in Primary, Secondary or High school or even University. We found a site named Britannica this helped us a lot because we could use  images from that site , reference it and we could use it as long as it's for school. If we wanted to search something up and found a site we could make it in to different font size and depending on our reading level we could change up a bit. The next site we looked at was Topic explorer this helped us a lot because won of the topics we could search up was   Flight and our topic for this term is Flight. I found this really handy because I could use it during Inquiry. Her tips was to actually use lower case letters while searching because it gives you more information about the topic you are searching. I thought this was really fun because I got to find new sites and also great tips to do while searching. Thank you Mrs Ogilvie.
