Set Goals
I had to decide on my goal or question. I can waste so much time on the Internet if I don't know WHY I'm searching. Before I start, I ask myself what I want to know. How will I use the information – to answer a question? create a report? produce a podcast? For this project, I wrote a goal that focused on what I wanted to learn.
Which goal do you think I wrote?
Excellent! This goal is focused on what I want to learn. I should be able to accomplish it by searching for information on the Internet. I could also state my goal as a question: Are 'swim with dolphins' programs helpful or hurtful?
This is a great career goal, but off topic. Try again.
This goal is about dolphin conservation, which is more than I want to learn for this project. Try again.
