- How to do REAL research on the Internet - for school and study.
The Internet today is a vast expanse of varied information: entertainment, opinions, and conflict.
When we are learning and teaching, we want to ensure that our research takes us to places where the information is peer-reviewed and factual.
Can we find this type of information on the Internet? Yes - it's there.
In this video, I will show you Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, a local Digital Library, and even an iPad App for Research and study. All places where we can find better quality, more authentic information.
Over the past 20+ years, I've seen more and more cases of students using a simple Google Search when completing assignments - citing sources such as Wikipedia as authentic and valid - but is that proper research? (spoiler: it isn't). Fortunately, the world of academic and scientific journals has become available online as well - if you know where to find them.

Thank you ! I’d love to start writing on various topics I feel passionate about and want to advocate for but I don’t want to spread any false information.
Finally a video I've been looking for for a long long time 👍🏾
It means you aren't the only one👍
Totally agree
This reminds me of Computer Basics (Chapter 9: Researching on the Internet, Pages 247-270).
Hey, thank you kindly for this content. I have gained so much knowledge by watching this. I always thought I was kinda okay at researching, but you’ve made me better by sharing this thoughtful video!!🙌🏾
That’s wonderful to hear! My goal here on UA-cam is to help people learn and it’s really nice to read a comment like this.
I was waiting for him to introduce Reddit 😂 Jokes aside, this was very helpful. Ive been trying to focus on other ways outside of the mainstream ways for research, google being one of them
Haha!
Everyone knows that Reddit and X are the places where the “real” information is! 😆
I’m glad you found this video interesting and I how it helps you find excellent sources.
Thanks. I really enjoyed this. Needed this!
I’m so glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for this, you have helped me so much i really appreciate the effort you put into this video

Yes - unfortunately they stopped it. They are doing a huge initiative to move things to Learn, but I’m not sure if they will have a Journal search feature - I don’t think so.
That leaves Google Scholar and your library.
That stated - there are services that use library protocols to connect to academic repositories - for example, I use an academic writing program called Nota Bene that has connectors.
A bit beyond this video though 😀
Thank you so much for this video!❤️
