  • I will always be in the right place, at the right time when I am online. If in doubt I will ask my teacher or parent.
  • Know how to use keywords and search filters
  • Become efficient at searching and make smart judgements about the credibility of information and their sources

​

To do these things I need to be a Smart Surfer by knowing the tricks and tips of how to surf like a pro.

Tips for using Google Voice Search

  1. Look for the "Ok Google" icon (a microphone) on the right side of the search bar.
  2. Make sure you have a new tab open as "Ok Google" only works on a new tab page.
  3. Plan in your head what you want to say. Keywords work best.
  4. Say "Ok Google" or click on the “Ok Google" icon and wait for it to ask you to “Speak now”
  5. Say your search words clearly and slowly into the microphone.
