Finding your way through the 'jungle of information'

So you have a research assignment. There is so much information out there that it can be hard to know where to start. Do you know where to begin?
The Research Safari is designed to help you navigate your way through the 'jungle of information'. Follow the information / inquiry process to help you work through your research task. There are lots of great tools that you can give your assignment the WOW factor.
The Research Safari will help you to answer the following questions:
  • What am I actually being asked to do for my assignment?
  • What do I already know about the topic?
  • Where am I going to get the information I need?
  • How do I know that the information is accurate or 'authentic' (not fake)?
  • Which are the best websites to use?
  • ​What is the best way for me to present my assignment?
  • How can I make this the best assignment ever?
