 Online Navigation
• Learning Competencies and Codes:
• Use the internet as a tool for reliable research and information gathering to
best achieve specific class objectives or address situational challenges.
• After going through the lessons you are expected to:
1. Identify search engines to use in online navigation;
2. Recognize internet sites as a reliable and non-satirical source for
3. research; and
4. Use the internet as a tool to gather information in creating
reflective outputs.
 Online Navigation
• The manner of collectively searching for and saving requested
information through the computer from databanks that are online is
known as Online Navigation.

• Years ago, the traditional way of obtaining certain information is

through books, which is very different from the online search on the
internet. Online navigation is an attempt to be more precise in
providing information based on a certain word.
 Online Navigation
• What are these? Google, Yahoo, Bing
• Search engines are software systems that are designed to search for
information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally
presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine results
pages.
• Google is the most known and most used search engine in the world.
According to Net Market Share, 74. 54 percent of the Search Engine
Market has been acquired by Google.
 Online Navigation
• What are these? Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge,
Safari, Opera, Brave, Netscape

• A web browser takes you anywhere on the internet, letting you see
text, images, and video from anywhere in the world.

• Spellings/Synonyms or Word Variations
• Truncation
• Phrase Searching
• Boolean Operators
• Nesting/Grouping
 Online Navigation
• Spellings/Synonyms or Word Variations

NESTING: PARENTHESES/BRACKETS

• Used when keywords are nested to clarify the order of search query
elements

• For example, you want to find patent documents on either red

seaweeds or brown seaweed
❑seaweed AND red OR brown → possible that a search database may
confuse the search as:
❑(seaweed AND red) OR brown

seaweed AND (red OR brown)

NESTING: PARENTHESES/BRACKETS

• Wrong format
• Dog OR cat OR pet AND cage OR kennel OR housing

• Using proper brackets

• (Dog OR cat OR pet ) AND (cage OR kennel OR housing)
 Research Skills
• In order to achieve or access what you are looking for, you need to improve
yourself. As the old saying goes, “Practice Makes Perfect”. Good research is
a product of multiple and continuous searches, here are some skills you
can improve or adapt to:
1. Critical Thinking – As you search through the web, you must think very
carefully about the information that you have gathered. Critical thinking
involves the ability to reflect on the information presented to you.
2. Data Organizing – A good researcher can organize his/her collected data.
As you collect those data, be sure to track where specific information is
gathered.
3. Research Presenting – Part of your research is the actual writing, be
creative and reflective in writing your search, explain every detail and step
into achieving your objective.
 Research Skills
• Remember that not all searches are good ones, some are considered
as satirical or untrue. Here are some tips in identifying good searches
from satirical searches.
1. If the contents of the source are too impossible to happen, or too
good to be true, then there must be something wrong.
2. If the site started as a false site for public figures such as TV
personalities or political figures, then uploaded stories from different
sources, it is a satirical one.
3. If the site is unfamiliar and continuously popping ads, then it is
satirical.

What I Can Do

You have learned that the internet consists of a variety of information that can be
readily accessible through search engines. Therefore, we do online navigation. But
not all information is relatable to your topic and not all information can be readily
accessed. As a learner, you now can gather specific details depending on the situation
presented to you. Yet always be reminded that not all information is vital and not all
information is a good one. As the generic saying goes, “Think, before you Click!” Being
an individual, you must use these engines responsibly in order to achieve your
objective.
Using your Social Media accounts, create a slogan or campaign regarding proper and
responsible use of internet. Use the tag, “#ThinkBeforeYouClick!”.
