Overview

Google Keep is a note-taking tool within the Google apps where you can record a link to a web page,  an image, or a quote that you want to save for later. This tool can be used to collect website links when conducting research and notes from the research may be added.

Google Scholar is a search engine for locating research-based journal articles. Students will conduct Google searches for information related to careers that include technology.  Links to websites along with notes for research will be curated in Google Keep.

This activity was created as a result of the DCLS Resource Development Summit.

Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

The students will use Google Scholar to locate research-based journal articles and Google searches for other information regarding future manufacturing careers that involve technology.  

The students will record website links resulting from their searches on Google Scholar and Google into a Google Keep list. 

The students will also copy and paste useful information/quotes from articles discovered in their research.

Activity Details

Students will use technology tools to begin researching for a class presentation on manufacturing careers that use technology.  

Students will search for information using the Google Scholar tool. Students will gather information (at least five resources) which will be used in a later assignment where they create a page on a classroom Google Site on the topic of a manufacturing career that uses technology.

Students will record the link to the resource and copy and paste notes into a Google Keep list, which serves as a note card and bibliography card for the upcoming project. This list will be accessed by the students in a later assignment where they create their webpage.
