Through the use of a simple mnemonic, NETS, this tutorial helps explain an efficient means of conducting an internet search for information using Google. It has the user work through a variety of brief exercises to learn the importance of Narrowing, finding the Exact phrase, Trimming back the URL, and finally, looking for Similar pages.
I was exposed to this resource as a student, in the class where WebQuests are taught. Since, then I've pointed faculty and students to it because I notice most conduct searches inefficiently. Even pointing out the advantages of using Google advanced search, which I always now use, usually results in smiling faces. This tutorial is valuable to any situation that asks learners to search the Net. Learners who've mastered what has become a basic ICT skill, have more time and cognitive resources to attend to the task as hand.
