2.5 Tool Time
This assignment will familiarize students with E-edition tools. Can they find a tool that…
  1. searches that day's paper quickly? (Hint: They should look for one marked “Search” or “Quick Search.”)
  1. searches that day's newspaper in more detail? (Hint: It may have a magnifying glass like a detective might use.)
  1. searches the newspaper's archives? (Hint: They should look for the word “archives.”)
  1. finds E-editions from the past 7 days?
  1. allows them to view thumbnails (small images) of the pages?
  1. shows an index of all of the stories?
  1. allows them to email an article? (Hint: They should look for a picture of a mail envelope or the word email.)
  1. allows them to print an article? (Hint: They should look for a picture of a printer or the word “Print.”)
  1. makes photos larger?
  1. makes the page larger or smaller?
  1. allows them to set Preferences for how to use their online newspaper?
  1. Finally, one of the best tools for school may be the “Search” tool. If you are covering a unit of study on a specific topic, they can type a keyword from that topic into the “Search” and find out if there are any stories containing that word in the news.
