Use of internet is an integral part of learning and searching information for students. Be it for assignments, research or plain surfing students just Google and get the information. It is an extremely important tool to find information. But the problem comes in sifting the right information. To get the right information one needs to distinguish the primary and secondary sources of information available.
Web search is a remarkable tool and if instructions in how to search are available academic sources will help students to become an independent thinker.
For this Google has come up with an excellent tool to help and teach students to become a better searcher. Google’s Search Education
