• Choose a search engine like Google,
Bing, or DuckDuckGo.
• Enter keywords related to your topic
in the search bar.
• Use quotation marks to search for
exact phrases.
• Utilize search operators like "site:" to
search within specific websites or
Using Search domains.
• Refine your search by using filters like
Engines time range, image/video search, or
advanced search options.
Exploring URL
Structure
• Different types of URLs,
including those with various
protocols (http, https), domains,
paths, and query strings.
• Dissect and analyze different
URLs to identify their
components.
• deconstruct URLs for
hypothetical scenarios.
Example
• https://example.com/products/shoes?color=blue&size=10
1. Protocol: https://
1. This specifies the protocol used to access the resource. In this case, it's Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS),
which indicates that the communication between the client and the server is encrypted.

2. Domain: example.com
1. This is the domain name of the website. It identifies the specific server or group of servers where the resource is located.

3. Path: /products/shoes
1. This part of the URL indicates the path to the specific resource on the server. In this case, it's pointing to a resource
related to shoes under the products directory on the server.

4. Query Parameters: ?color=blue&size=10


1. These are additional parameters provided to the server, typically in the form of key-value pairs. In this case, it specifies
that the color of the shoes is blue and the size is 10.
Conducting
Internet Research

• Demonstrate effective internet research


techniques, such as using search engines,
filtering results, and evaluating sources for
credibility.
• A research topic relevant to the course interests.

• The process of finding reliable sources,


extracting relevant information, and citing
sources properly.
• Explore different types of sources (e.g.,
websites, academic papers, forums) and
compare their credibility and relevance.
Understanding
URLs

Scheme

Scheme
Every URL begins with the scheme. This tells your
browser what type of address it is so the browser
connects to it correctly. There are many types of
schemes, but for typical web browsing you will
mostly see http and https. Your browser usually
won’t show the scheme in the address bar, and
usually you don’t need to type the scheme when
typing a web address; instead, you can just begin
with the domain name. The scheme is still always
part of the URL; it just isn’t being displayed.
Domain name

The domain name is the most


prominent part of a web address.
Typically, different pages on the
same site will continue to use the
same domain name. For example,
all pages on this site share the
GCFLearnFree.org domain name.
You can often learn something about the site from the
domains. One of the domains usually identifies the
organization, while the top-level domain may give you
more general information on what kind of site it is. For
example, in the domain name nc.gov, the .gov domain
means it is a government website in the United States,
the nc domain identifies it as the website of North
Carolina.
In most URLs, the www domain can be omitted.
Google.com and www.google.com lead to the
same page. However, other subdomains cannot be
omitted. For example, all pages under
news.google.com require the news subdomain in
the URL.
File path
The file path—often just called the path—tells your
browser to load a specific page. If you don’t specify
a path and only enter a domain name, your browser
is still loading a specific page; it’s just loading a default
page, which usually will help you navigate to other
pages.

URLs that end with the domain name without a file


path usually will load a homepage or an index page
that's designed to help you navigate to specific pages
on the site. Often, if you can’t remember the file path
for a specific page, you can go to the homepage and
search for it.
Parameters

Some URLs include a string of characters


after the path—beginning with a question
mark—called the parameter string. You
have probably noticed this part of
a URL appear in your address bar after
performing a search on Google or YouTube.
The parameter string can be clear or
confusing to a human user, but it is critical
information for the server.
Anchor

Also appearing after the path, the anchor tells


your browser to scroll to or load a specific
part of the page. Usually the anchor begins
with a hashtag and is used to direct your
browser to a specific part of a very long page,
much like a bookmark.
Different anchors don’t load different pages;
they simply tell the browser to display
different parts of the page.
A whole URL
When combined, these elements make up a URL,
although not all URLs will have all five parts.

Using what we learned in this tutorial, we can


tell from the domain name of this URL that it’s
on Wikipedia, from the parameters that the page
is probably about burritos, and from the anchor
that we’ll be looking at the section on burritos
for breakfast.
Keep in mind that these are the most common
components of a URL. There are many other
parts, but these are the five you will see most
often and that can usually give you the most
information.
