2. Website Name
 I chose to do the United States Department of
Education because my topic was an educational issue.

3. Topic and Search Terms
 I used the information search bar at the top of the
home page to conduct my research. I simply typed in
STEM Education.

4. Search Agents and Limiters
 On this particular website they didn’t have much of a
way to filter your results, as it was mostly a google type
search. However, they did have information based on
whether you were a student, educator or other
professional.

5. Understanding
 Overall, I really liked the information given
on this site. I found all of the information
really useful for my research and it was
credible because it was all provided by a
credible government based source.
 If I were to conduct research in the future
I would definitely use a site such as this
one.

6. Opinion
 In my opinion this site was very helpful and
it had many useful articles and statistics
that Academic Search Premier and other
databases didn’t have.
 However, there were not many ways to
limit your search and there weren’t many
articles that had sources or a place to see
citations.
