Digital research involves using the internet and other digital tools to find information on a specific topic. This process starts with a question or a subject you want to explore. For example, if you are interested in learning about dolphins, you might begin by typing 'dolphins' into a search engine like Google. The search engine will provide you with a list of websites, articles, and videos about dolphins. You can then click on these links to read more and gather facts. It’s important to evaluate the sources you find to make sure they are trustworthy. Not all information online is accurate, so you should look for reliable websites, such as educational institutions or government sites. By collecting information from various sources, you can create a better understanding of your topic and even share what you learned with others!
