Kids Search Engines
This unit students learn about their origin culture of Indonesia. Through out the unit they have simple research about Indonesia such as governmental system, national anthem, flag, tradition and culture. In information literacy they learn to find the information that they need in internet. They use search engine for kids such as kidrex and kidzsearch. There are some steps that they learn during this unit in order to find the right information. They also need to learn and decide what keywords are appropriate to be used in their searching.
Keywords Searching
Every time students want to search information about Indonesia they are going to use kids search engine and apply their keywords searching skills. It is not only automatically type the whole sentence on the keyword searching box but they should be able to recognize the important words or the keywords that might help them find the answers of their questions quicker than if they use other words. Therefore they need to understand the strategies how to choose the words for keyword searching. These are some of the things they can do when they choose the keywords:
1. Eliminate the question words and change it with statement words
Example:
what=the ways, things
Where=place
Why=reason
How=ways, process, function
When=timeline, time
2. Choose Noun and Verb from the sentence or the question
Example:
What is the traditional instrument from Sunda?
Noun=traditional, instrument, Sunda
3. Use phrase instead of sentence
Example:
Traditional instrument from Sunda or Instrument from Sunda or Sunda instrument
Web Directory Search
After students are able to choose good keywords, then the next step will be reading the overview on web directory.
Differentiation
When it comes to SEN students and need to have different approach of learning, they can access kidztube (youtube for kids) and use the same stage (keyword searching to find the movie which explain about their topic)
