\nStudent Digital Learning Tips
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/h2>\n

If you tuned into our blog last week, we revealed some fascinating insights about student web behavior, courtesy of our new data science team.<\/a> Using student data from schools and districts utilizing Relay, we examined what students are searching online as well as their 30 most-viewed websites. This provided us with student digital learning tips<\/p>\n

(Note: All personally identifiable information has been generalized and anonymized. We take student data privacy extremely seriously \u2014 you can read about our privacy policy here.)<\/p>\n

Seeing all the search and site activity for students paints a picture of how K-12 students learn using the internet.<\/p>\n

Using our findings, here are five student digital learning tips to better understand student user activity \u2014 and turn students into more effective digital learners.<\/p>\n

1. Instill in students the importance of organizational skills.<\/strong>
\nStudents often access the same websites multiple times each week, if not each day. Teaching students organizational skills such as bookmarking websites and creating website folders can help students be more efficient online. Encourage them to set up bookmarks for Google Docs and other high-ranking sites.<\/p>\n

2. Teach students best practices for internet searches.<\/strong>
\nThe seventh most popular search students performed was for \u201cgoogle.\u201d Although students can search the web through the address bar in the Google Chrome browser, many students first visit Google.com before inputting their search queries. IT departments and teachers can help students learn best practices for web searches \u2014 such as starting an internet search from the Chrome address bar, or more advanced skills<\/a> \u2014 to get appropriate information faster.<\/p>\n

3. Investigate popular search terms on your own time.<\/strong>
\nStaying on top of internet trends is key to understanding search behavior. For example, just a few years ago, memes (no. 4 in top search terms) were not a popular topic of interest. Keeping tabs on such trends can help IT better understand search traffic patterns. Try searching for these popular terms to see what students see when they perform those searches. If you don\u2019t want your students searching any particular terms, you can add them as Blocked Search Keywords in Relay.<\/p>\n

4. Try education sites that are popular at other schools.<\/strong>
\nIf our analysis of the top-viewed sites contained any unfamiliar educational or educational gaming sites, check them out \u2014 your students and teachers might benefit from these resources.<\/p>\n

5. Educate students and be transparent about filtering policies.<\/strong>
\nAt Lightspeed Systems, we\u2019re dedicated to transparency on how we\u2019ve been categorizing the web for two decades and giving schools the power to set their own filtering policies. It\u2019s helpful to share your schools\u2019 policies with students, too. (High on the list of most-popular search terms is \u201cunblocked games.\u201d)<\/p>\n
