IntroductionUsing visit4infoTeachingLinksResources

Starters

As with any resource that has not been tailor-made to the needs of the user, the visit4info Web site needs to be used selectively to avoid confusion, time-wasting and a lack of focus. Many of the advertisements featured on the visit4info Web site can be used as stimuli for difficult or controversial topics or perhaps topics that students normally find disengaging. The press advertisements could be displayed or the TV/cinema advertisements could be played as a starter to create an immediate impact.

Ideas based on the ‘Product type’ divisions of the visit4info search engine have been provided here. Of course, these are only suggestions and are by no means exhaustive or prescriptive. In addition to initial student-based ‘starters’, they could also provide ideas for teaching projects.
