Finding your way through the 'jungle of information'

So you have a research assignment. Do you know where to begin? There is so much information out there on the web that it can be hard to know where to start and what path to take through the 'jungle of information'.
The Research Safari is designed to help you do just that. Follow the information / inquiry process described here to help you work through your research task. There are also lots of great resources, tools and information that will help give your assignment that 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?
When your school subscribes to the Research Safari you will be given a password that provides access to a growing range of resources, ideas and activities to help you with your research tasks. This is a one-off subscription and does not require individual logons for students.
