PowerPoint Notes Galileo PowerPoint Notes This PowerPoint is intended for training purposes for students as well as teachers. I will use this PowerPoint with fourth grade students to teach them as well as teachers how to use Galileo to research about explorers. We have SmartBoards at my school, so most of the PowerPoints are done in Smart Notebooks. I have included mostly screenshots with each slide. I believe this is a great visual for students as teachers to see how to maneuver around GALILEO. Slide 1: I would go over the website address and how to login using the school's password. I would also discuss how the password changes every few months and that I would keep them and the teachers updated with any password changes. Slide 4: I would introduce the five search links that they are able to use while searching for explorers and any other topic they want to know about. Slide 5: I would go over the highlights of SIRS Discoverer. I would show them how I typed in "explorers" in the search bar. Slide 6: I would show them all of the articles that comes up about explorers. Slide 7: This slide shows an actual article after you click on the link to open up the article about explorers. Slide 8: This slide takes them to the next search link, Kids Search. I would go over the homepage and the features on this page. Slide 9: This slide shows when you type in "explorers" in the search bar and then click on the photos box which I have circled what comes up. This allows the students and teachers to see pictures about explorers. Slide 10: This slide shows teacher resources. I have circled this button for teachers to see where to go for resources.

PowerPoint Notes Slide 11: This slide shows teachers where to type in "explorers" in the search bar and click go to get more information. Slide 12: This slide shows Britannica Online. I would go over the highlights with the students and teachers. I have typed in "Lewis and Clark" to show where to type to search for more information. Slide 13: This slide shows elementary encyclopedia information about Lewis and Clark. Slide 14: This slide shows teachers where to go for teacher resources. I would go over what resources teachers can find on this page. Slide 15: This is the homepage for Digital Library for Georgia. I would go over and discuss the highlights of the homepage. Slide 16: This slide shows the students and teachers where to type in for example "Christopher Columbus" in the search and then click go. Slide 17: This slide shows all the information about Christopher Columbus that you can find in Digital Library for Georgia. I have highlighted a statue that they can click on and then show them the next slide #18 so they can see the actual statue. Slide 19: I would introduce Kids.gov's homepage and it's features on this slide. Slide 20: I would show them this slide so they can see that since they are in 4th grade they click on the "K-5" button and since they are learning about explorers then they would need to click on the "Social Studies" button. Slide 21: Then I would show them after I type in "explorers" all the information they can click on that is highlighted in blue. Slide 22: This is a comparison chart that I would share with the students and teachers to show which websites offer what and what they do not offer as well.
