How are documents ranked?
"Google Scholar aims to rank documents the way researchers do, weighing the full text of each document, where it was published, who it was written by, as well as how often and how recently it has been cited in other scholarly literature."
Google Scholar is a trusted resource for my 7th/8th grade students. It combines the ease and familiarity most are accustomed to with google, with academically appropriate search results. During the pre-writing process, this tool can support students in brainstorming, as well as finding evidence to support their ideas. It has also proven useful during the editing and revision process, as it is very common in middle school for students to be asked to go back and find additional support for their ideas.
This application provides the added benefit of allowing students to publish their work for others to read and reference. Research projects in my program often last several months, and many of the students would love the opportunity to publish their papers for the public to enjoy.

Placing a tablet or computer on a students desk and expecting them to take off on their own to a planet full of learning excitement is not how technology in the classroom works. In the classroom, the tablet is only a tool when the student uses it as such, and becomes engaged with the content objective ordained by the lesson. In my experience, If my directions and assignment are rudimentary and vague, the student will become bored and stray from the objective. I'd like to share the ideas provided in this article because they are really useful in the classroom. If the assignment involves doing research on the causes of WW2, the students will find a sea of resources online. We ought to guide the student and create a mental guideline they must follow. For instance; David is working on the latter assignment. Now that David found a few sites with reliable information, lets take his learning to a higher level and have him tell you, the teacher, what made him choose one source over the other and how this will help his paper flourish to be informative and accurate.
