Unit 6D: Using the internet to search large databases and to interpret information

QCA
About this unit

In this unit children learn to use large sources of information, such as those found on the internet. They will use, skim read and take in information to be able to own it for themselves and interpret it with others. At times they will be critical of content and may be able to check for different viewpoints.

Children will present the researched information in a form suitable to the needs of their audience.

It is important that teachers search the internet first for suitable sites. Without this, children can spend many hours in fruitless searching, without any reward.
