Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The fourth R is research. Everyone can learn to use online information more efficiently and effectively, whether they’re students, citizens, parents, or professionals. This book makes the case that learning how to be a better online researcher is not just a good idea but something that everyone should know how to do.

#2

Research is a skill that we all take for granted. We all use Google, and we assume we’re good at it. But online research is a critical skill for our future. We need to teach our students how to be good searchers, and how to use that knowledge to function effectively as learned searchers.

#3

There are a lot of online resources that can answer your questions, but most people don’t know how to use them effectively. They don’t know how to frame their questions and search for the answers themselves.

#4

Search engines can become more than just a simple collection of data. They can become an intelligence amplifier for you, allowing you to understand how things work and see more deeply in the world.

#5

Each chapter focuses on a different question and explores how I answered it. I’ll show you how to research a question, and explain how to make good queries for searching. I’ll also provide research lessons that summarize the things you should have learned during the chapter.

#6

The last two chapters summarize what this book has to teach. It’s true that in this case, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Chapter 19 offers many of the lessons I’ve learned all pulled together into a tidy summary.

#7

The classic query style is to use a few words that describe the kind of web result you seek. The best queries are those that use on-topic words or consist of clearly stated questions. People rarely use Boolean queries in their classical searches.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

To find someone’s location, you must start with clues you find in the photo itself. What do you see in the photo.

#2

There are only a few things you can begin with in this image. Two buildings have logos that might be useful, and there is a flag in the lower-left corner. If you look closely, you'll see it's actually a mural of a postage stamp with a cancellation mark.

#3

You can figure out the location of a photo by doing a Google Images search for the name of the company. The TP logo will appear on the first page of Google Images results, and this leads you to the Telekomunikacja Polska website.

#4

I was able to find the building where the photo was taken from by using Google Earth. I matched the view by flying around in Google Earth until I found the right side of the building. I then turned around my view in Google Earth to see the building behind me.

#5

To find out where the photo was taken, I first did a flip horizontally so I can see what it could be. It looks suspiciously like writing, and it looks familiar.

#6

When looking for clues, it is important to not get bogged down in dead ends but instead be willing to change your strategy on the fly. Google Earth is a valuable search tool when you’re looking for objects in landscape photos that you can’t identify otherwise.

#7

To zoom in on a photo, you can use the browser itself. Just type a control-+ to zoom in and then control-– to zoom out. If you need even more zooming, you can download the photo and then use an application to magnify the image.

#8

Google Street View allows you to look around on a street location when you use Google Maps. To do this, just pin Google Maps on your browser in whatever location you’d like to check out. Then, click and hold the yellow man figure in the lower-right corner, and drag it onto any of the blue lines that appear on the map.

#9

Google Earth is a free application that you can download from Google. With Google Earth, you can literally fly to any spot on the planet and then look around. It’s much like Google Maps, but it has extra features that Google Maps doesn’t have yet.

#10

There are two ways to flip an image: horizontally and vertically. Rotating an image does not constitute flipping it. If you rotate an image by 30 degrees, you'll get a different result than if you flip it vertically.

#11

The flip function on the Macintosh allows you to see the image that is faintly visible in a reflection. To undo the effect of a reflection, you must do a flip horizontally.

#12

The name of the bridge is Pont Notre-Dame. You can find it by searching Google Street View.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

Lakes can be deadly, and this is the kind of article that makes me start doing research. It’s a fascinating topic, but the article itself was heavy on fluff and light on details. I wanted to know if this was a real thing, and if so, how could a lake actually kill so many people.

#2

To find out what causes killer lakes, I Googled the phrase killer lake and found the Lake Nyos incident in Cameroon, Africa.
