MasterChef - Search Techniques and Permission

Over the last month we have been learning all about the importance of searching the internet effectively. We have learnt various techniques to help us find information more accurately. Some of these techniques are as follows;

-effective keyword use (very important!)
-filetype
-colour search
-similar image search
-line drawing search

We have also learnt the importance of how to search for information/images that we have permission to use, share and even modify. Below is a video of how we do this...



We have used all this knowledge to help us complete our MasterChef challenge! To create a "MasterChef Recipe Book" of all our favourite foods and treats only using recipes and images we have been given permission to use from the internet! Each of us is creating a book that we will share with our classmates once we have finished. We will eventually vote and come up with a girl and boy winner from each class. These recipe books will be displayed on our blog and will be able to be downloaded by other classmates, the local community and by anyone around the world!! Keep a look out for the winning recipe books!

Here is an example that has been created. It will show you how the books will be displayed on the internet and just how easily you can download them!


Below is an image that explains how you can download the recipe books.
