In the not-so-old days, students headed to the library for access to microfiche, newspapers and academic journals. As the Internet has entered the mainstream, however, teachers face a quandary as the volume of available information has exploded (and the potential for misinformation right along with it). There’s a commercial on TV now that jokes, “you can’t put it on the Internet if it isn’t true”. There really is a strong tendency for people to want to believe something when they read it online. It is important that students be able to locate accurate sources, and do so without wading through hundreds of search responses responses inefficiently. Fortunately, help is available today from numerous sources. Through its Search Education project, Google offers a variety of webinars, hands-on lessons and other tools for K-12 students and teachers, including: About Paul Warren

Search in the age of social I started a new project: Gnod News - a social media searchengine. There were two driving forces behind me doing this: 1) I realized, that the majority of my media consumption is social media these days. 2) There is no website that unifies the search on social media websites. Sites I use frequently are news.ycombinator.com, reddit.com, mixergy.com and twitter.com. Every website has it's own search engine. One might think Google would also embrace the social web. I couldn't find any searchengine that searches across different social media sites and brings all the results together in one list.

Inside Search Google is the most popular search engine on the web. Most of us rely on Google search for finding information. Sometimes it can be difficult to find just the right information we are actually looking for out of the hundreds or thousands of results returned in Google’s search. Towards this end, in July 2012 Google created an online course called Power Searching with Google. The Google Power Searching course is available online on edX as an Xseries program. Go to Power Searching with Google Course The course is structured as a series of 6 modules, each of which comprises of 5-6 short video lessons. The instructor of the course is Daniel M. This Power Searching course introduces participants to the idea of search, how Google works, and gives them the methods, strategies and tactics to find what they need to find. This XSeries program in Power Searching with Google is open for all and self-paced, so everyone can learn at their own pace without being locked in a schedule.

kakuy, para conectar a las personas que están realizando la misma búsqueda en Internet Desde kakuylive.com nos presentan este proyecto que puede ayudar a buscar en Internet de forma más productiva. Se trata de una extensión para Chrome y Firefox que conecta a las personas que están realizando las mismas búsquedas en los diferentes motores existentes en la web (bing, google, yahoo, etc.). Cuando busquemos algo, Kakuy lo sabrá y verificará si hay alguna coincidencia entre los usuarios de la extensión. Es posible también ver a las personas que buscaron la misma información en el pasado, accediendo así a perfiles que pueden ayudarnos con la experiencia que ya han obtenido hace varios días, cuando pasaron por el mismo “problema”. El proyecto llega de las manos de Critical Monkey, startup tecnológica de Gran Canaria, que pretende hacer sociales las búsquedas, dando más importancia al aspecto social que al pagerank o a los algoritmos creados de forma automática por los motores de búsqueda.

How to Use Google Search More Effectively Among certain circles (my family, some of my coworkers, etc.) I'm known for my Googling skills. I can find anything, anywhere, in no time flat. My Google-fu is a helpful skill, but not one that's shrouded in too much mystery — I've just mastered some very helpful search tricks and shortcuts and learned to quickly identify the best info in a list of results. Sadly, though web searches have become and integral part of the academic research landscape, the art of the Google search is an increasingly lost one. That search process also included determining when to rely on Google and when to utilize scholarly databases, but on a fundamental level, it appears that many people just don't understand how to best find the information they seek using Google. Thanks to the folks at HackCollege, a number of my "secrets" are out. Infographic via HackCollege Image courtesy of iStockphoto, LICreate

A trivia game where using Google is allowed Traditional trivia games have a rule that you can't cheat—you can't look things up in books, you can't ask your friends and you certainly can't ask Google. But what if there were a trivia game where you could not only ask Google, but were encouraged to do so? Imagine how difficult the questions would need to be with the power of the world's information at your fingertips. A Google a Day is a new daily puzzle that can be solved using your creativity and clever search skills on Google. Just like traditional crossword puzzles, the difficulty of the questions increases over the course of the week, so by Thursday or Friday, even the most seasoned searcher may be stumped. To prevent spoilers from appearing as you search the web, look for the answers on agoogleaday.com instead of regular google.com—we’ve made a special version of Google that excludes real-time updates and other things that are likely to include spoilers as people post the answers to the puzzle online.
