Searching

I loved learning about searching. I am used to searching using the standard search box, and this lesson opened my eyes to a whole new way to go about it. I searched "Images" by looking for tulip. Thousands of images came up. Tulips of many colors, sizes and varieties. If I were looking for a specific tulip I believe this is the way to find it. I also searched Tennessee under "Images," and I was very surprised to find many different kinds of images appear. There were maps, flags, mountains, bridges, cities, a quarter, a big orange "T," Tennessee Titans, and many more. This is a great way to advance one's search.

I also looked a Google squared, and was most impressed. This site gives you a very detailed chart of what you are searching for. I searched Presidents and got results box headings of: name, image, description, religion, party preceded by, spouse, and occupation. The presidents of the United States were then listed in rows and the above columns filled in the information about them.
I then Google squared Knox county elementary schools and short term mission trips and received an abundant of information. This is definitely the site to use if you are comparing something or wanting to find out about more than one of something.

The last search I used was Wonder Wheel  I searched for presidents and on the left hand side about 1/2 way down the screen was the words Wonder Wheel. I clicked on this and it brought up a wheel and the spokes were related searches or ways to define the search, such as, president pictures, president timelines, vice presidents, order of presidents, republican or democratic presidents. Under Wonder Wheel was timeline and when I clicked on this a timeline of articles about different presidents appeared.

I think these searches will be very useful in the classroom to broaden the searches of subject matter.  I also think in every day searching, it is great knowledge to have. I am going to show my husband how to Goggle square.
