AT the height of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, school closures meant more than 90 per cent of the world’s learners had to study virtually or from home. The internet, an invaluable educational tool, has, therefore, become more important for students. One of students’ most common internet activities, both in schools and in home schooling, is online searching. This means teachers and those parents currently standing in for teachers need to help students develop skills for searching online. So what can parents do to support their children when tasks sent home from school require them to search for information online? What can they do to extend such work for gifted students or when the work sent home runs out? Teachers and parents can have an influence on a child’s internet skills. Indeed, their search success is related to the amount of adult guidance and explicit instruction they receive. Unfortunately, research suggests some teachers don’t offer such explicit instruction. Some have trouble structuring (and providing support for) student online search tasks that go beyond lower-order skills. Evidence exists of a lack of search skills among teachers and parents themselves. The following three tips may help.
