I did look up Armadillos (again). There were 6 pictures. What I found interesting was in the newspaper articles. The last one I looked at was written in a Kearney, NE newspaper and had nothing to do with real armadillos. The article was about a science/space fair competition called the X Cup. And Armadillo refers to the name of an institution in Texas: Armadillo Aerospace of Mesquite, Texas.
This would be a great opportunity to show students how even with narrowed searching, they still have to use their thinking skills. Not everything can be done for us.
ShariO, this is an excellent example of how to teach information literacy. If students do their own searches and get odd results, they can think like detectives as to why those results turned up. And we hope they learn to be good enough searchers that they get good results more often than not. Thanks for your remarks.
