Educational Origami

I am preparing for a presentation and I need to find some resources on Searching and within searching Boolean Searching.

There are some great tools out there that are worth sharing:

• starter sheet on Edorigami – http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/Starter+Sheets - Boolean searches and Google advanced search
• The Boolean machine on Kathy Schrocks site – http://kathyschrock.net/rbs3k/boolean/#
• Common craft show – basic search stratergies – http://commoncraft.com/web-search-strategies
• Boolean searching on the internet – http://www.internettutorials.net/boolean.asp
• Boolify – http://www.boolify.org/index.php

Boolify is a search site using the google Engine.

Simple drag and drop the jigsaw elements to construct the search and its “and” “or” “Not” criteria.

The search results are shown underneath the  working pane. A good simple tool.

Kathy Schrock’s The Boolean machine is an interactive explanation of Boolean search logic. Simple straight forward and easy to follow:

The starter sheets are resources I have developed for Google advanced searches and Boolean searches.

A rubric for Using search engines to find accurate information is available here – http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/Rubrics+-+Bloom%27s+Digital+Taxonomy
