Earlier this year I designed a template to introduce teachers to the usefulness of using Google Presentation as a tool for research. The purpose of the template is for use as a starting point to help teachers plan and implement technology driven learning experiences that are fueled by Essential Questions and aligned to Common Core Standards.

Monitor and measure. Karen's comments and finding Jose's rubrics are most helpful.

Great insight, Karen, on how an educational rubric is repurposeable for business. Thanks.

Karen can always find a new angle in digital storytelling |

Wikipedia's most common sources of information are news outlets, books, and academic archives. So if your teacher has banned Wikipedia, just follow Wikipedia's trail of sources to get to the good stuff. Oh, and don't tell them we sent you.

Dennis T OConnor's insight: Wikipedia is a solid way to begin a search on many topics IF you follow the backtrail to the sources listed in the article. As a school librarian, I agree with this advice. If you know little about a topic that you are researching, begin with Wikipedia to gather search terms and find sources of information from the citations. Wikipedia should not be cited as a source for academic research, but it can be a tool for finding sources that are.

A great starting point - track it back to see where it might have come from.

Teach students and teachers how Wikipedia can be a starting point in the research process, not the final destination. |
...and did you know that in Chrome images can be added from a search page by dragging them to the presentation's tab and dropping them on the slide when it opens - superspeedy
I tried the link to get a copy of the Google Presentation Research Template that is in this blog post. It was not found. I sent Susan a message so hopefully she will get the link corrected.
