This is all great - but as the article points out - the student only went so far and stopped. He did not see the significance of his achievement.
I’ve talked to IT teachers who tell me that students in the elementary grades - especially 4th and 5th graders - when doing research - will only view the first 3 Google searches and stop or move on without the desire to sink in the results and refine them...even though this is taught in computer tech classes...
I have my students do research papers and do not allow them to use Google searches. Our school has an account with an online database search that accesses scholarly articles. That’s where they must obtain their info. Google is crap when it comes to doing research.
