This simple informative video presents an interesting way for students to learn. The tool I found most interesting was Google Scholar. I didn't realize this even existed and can't wait to investigate it further. I'm always frustrated with how my students would just copy anything from anyone's website, instead of gathering, organizing reliable information, and synthesizing their own ideas. It actually made me weary of using technology for research in the classroom. With this tool, research should be less frustrating and easier to manage.
