Is it REAL?
Domain? Extension? www.domain.ext Personal? Read the url
www.sayrevillek12.net www.yahoo.com www.nasa.gov www.af.mil What is the domain?
www.tcnj.edu www.laurelhurst.pps.k12.or.us www.nagoya-u.ac.j www.ama-assn.org What is the domain?
www.sayrevillek12.net www.yahoo.com www.nasa.gov www.af.mil What is the extension?
www.tcnj.edu www.laurelhurst.pps.k12.or.us www.nagoya-u.ac.j www.ama-assn.org What is the extension?
Handout ( popular extensions)
Some extensions are more reliable than others? (i.e., .gov versus .com.)
You can shorten the url zapatopi.net/treeoctopus.html zapatopi.net/treeoctopus.html                                     The forward slash = 					  another directory Use zapatopi.net as the entire domain.
Is it personal? www.blog.discoveryeducation.com/bsdbsd www.tcnj.edu/~goglobal/undergraduate/documents/StudyAbroadatTCNJPDF.pdf
Name ~ % Blog, users, members, group Clues
www.blog.discoveryeducation.com/bsdbsd www.tcnj.edu/~goglobal/undergraduate/documents/StudyAbroadatTCNJPDF.pdf
Read the url Domain? Extension? Personal? Read Review
Does it make sense? Match or conflict Evaluate the content THINK
Evaluate the content Links Updated?
Does it make sense? Links Updates Evaluate - Review
Ask about the Author Writer? Publisher?
Sometimes the author is listed.
So who is the author?
If no author is listed www.easyWhois Enter the domain name -i.e., sayrevillek12.net
1. Go to www.easyWhois.com
2. Enter the entire domain (including the extension)
3. View results.
No author listed- use www.easyWhois.com
So who is the author? (truncate) 1. Go to www.easywhois.com and enter the entire domain in the search field.
Does this make sense?
Ask  about the Author - Review www.easyWhois Enter the domain name sayrevillek12.net
 Look at Links  Links from the site (forward links) Links to the site     (back links)
Links from the site Mouse over the link  See the url in the lower left hand corner
Move your mouse over the links. Check url in the lower left hand corner.
Where are they linked?
All linked to the same site
Links to the site Use the link command in altavista Go to www.altavista.com
Links to the site In the search box enter link:entireurl (no spaces)  Example: link:www.sayrevillek12.net (include www and the entire domain)
1. Go to www.altavista.com
2. Entire the complete url (includes www.domain.ext) in the search window.
3. View results.
Links to MLK site
Links to Tree Octopus
Look at the Links Review Links from the site  Mouse over and view Links to the site Use link command at www.altavista.com
The way it used to be Wayback Machine www.archive.org Enter url Look at past pages
1. Go to www.archive.org
2. Enter the url.
3. Results. Select page to view.
Older version of MLK page.
Review:Is it REAL?
What sites to use (handout) All grades  All About Explorers: http://www.allaboutexplorers.com California's Velcro Crop under Challenge: http://home.inreach.com/kumbach/velcro.html The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus: http://www.zapatopi.net/treeoctopus Dog Island Free Forever: http://www.thedogisland.com Victorian Robots: http://www.bigredhair.com/robots/index.html   Middle /HS School  Dihydrogen Monoxide: http://www.dhmo.org Feline Reactions to Bearded Men: http://www.improbable.com/airchives/classical/cat/cat.html Clones R Us: http://www.d-b.net/dti/ Dehydrated Water: http://www.buydehydratedwater.com/ Petrol Direct: http://www.petroldirect.com/ For you only  Martin Luther King: http://www.martinlutherking.org (NOT for students)
Search Strategies Engine versus Directory Who is on top? Boolean operations Special Commands
What’s the difference? Search Engine Directory
http://www.learnthenet.com/animated-internet/how-search-engines-work/index.php
Examples Search Engine Directory
Search strategies How they work (or which site goes first?)
There are equations, (but not this one!)
The factors include: Paid (sponsored- at the top) Search term is the url Search term is in the title Based on # links to the site 	(different for each service)
For our students: The first link might not be the best!
Search strategies Boolean Operators It is all in 3 little words- and, or , not
And ( or the +)
Or ( you get everything)
Default setting for most engines
Not ( or the -)
Searching smarter Virtual index Use altavist.com host url
Alta Vista host command Why? Find all the pages from a specific domain Narrow large sites
Alta Vista Host Command Here’s how Searches based on extension Can add key words Example
Sample host command You are looking for schools in NJ. 1. www.altavista.com 2. In the search box, enter host:k12.nj.us  (hint- No spaces)
Sample host command You are looking student lessons from NASA 1. www.altavista.com 2. In the search box, enter host:nasa.gov + “student lessons’’ (hint- space around the + sign)
Why use the host command?
Another example
If you still don’t believe…
Alta Vista url Why? Find all urls containing your key words. Wider response
Alta Vista url command Here’s how Searches based on terms in the url Can add key words Example
No host? Use the url command You are looking for schools with butterfly gardens. Words in the url might include k12 1. www.altavista.com 2. In the search box, enter url:k12 + butterfly
url command Using url:k12 will include all web addresses including k12 (not just using it as an extension) Larger number of responses
Questions?
