Today, we were critical and safe users of the internet during our geography lesson. We wanted to conduct some research on the iPads to answer the question…
Why do tourists visit Venice?
We must be careful when conducting research as geographers as not all online sites are helpful, safe or appropriate for our research question. As a class, we discussed four different web pages about Venice and which would be best to answer our question.
This website will provide information about what to do in Venice. However, it’s audience is not children and therefore is not the safest website to use.
This website’s audience is children and it’s full of brilliant facts all about Venice. This is a safe and helpful website to use.
Although BBC Bitesize is a great website that we use a lot in school, this page was not about the city of Venice but rather the Shakespeare play. We must always check that it answers our question.
A blog will contain someone’s opinion and we know this may not always be trustworthy. It may not contain as many facts.
Help at home: research things to do in York as a tourist. As you’re going through the websites, discuss with your child which you should use and why.
