Hour 5 & 6 - Internet Exploration

10A - Thursday October 30, 2008
10B - TBA


20.3 Understand the operation of search engines and perform efficient searches to access suitable information.

~ One of the paradoxes of the Internet is that there is a vast body of information available, but it is often difficult to find what is wanted. Students should research the advanced search techniques on a number of different search engines, and in particular should be familiar with Boolean searches. Effective search techniques allow more efficient access to information.
Students could compare the results of a number of different search engines doing the same searches. They should realize that some search engines are more effective at some searches than others, but none are better at everything, therefore a variety of search engines should be utilized. It would be helpful if students understood the various ways that search engines make their decisions, and the way sites are placed in a search engine's database.
Describe how and why seemingly unrelated websites appear in search results.

~ Whole assignment should amount to approx one to one and a half pages typed in Word, Times New Roman font, size 12pt.

20.6 Discuss the security of information that is accessed or sent over the Internet.
Students should research the types of security that is provided on different websites. They should be aware of the difference between secure and unsecured websites and of the use of encryption and its effectiveness.
The potential for virus infection and ways to prevent or reduce the impact of viruses should be investigated. Students could research the effectiveness of various virus protection programs.
The use of Internet security programs that limit the content available could be explored and discussed in terms of appropriate use of these programs in places like schools, public libraries, or places of employment. Their capabilities and limitations should also be considered.
