Boolean Searching [Resource]

For one section of the unit the students will be learning about the uses of boolean searching and advanced searching techniques. Below are some links as to what could be covered under this part of the unit and one possible task that the students would be able to complete to confirm their understanding. 
Boolean searching is an important part of reseaching and should be taught to all students who will be doing any type of searching in future, whether just in VCE subjects or university classes. This part of the unit would also cover other forms of advanced searching such as the use of quotation marks/phrase searching and the different terms used in advanced search options in place of bollean terms as laid out in teacher resource 1 below.
