Thing #17

I loved Rollyo--it is easy to see how this could help with organizing research projects. The video was very helpful and easy to understand.

I think today's youth view Google as an end-all. Many students go to Google first for answers. As pointed out in the video, Google can be overwhelming. Many searches result in thousands of hits. Using Rollyo, we can give students the search engine experience in a controlled environment. Not only can we limit the hits to safe and reliable sites, but we can reduce the number of hits to research simpler and more effective. I created this Rollyo search engine for "Sea Animals":

I look forward to using this more when I return to school!
