Searching the Web

Just came across an interesting site that helps students learn how to search the web more efficiently:
Boolify http://www.boolify.org This is a great way to show students how to use different operators when doing a web search. Boolify utilizes the Google search engine, so it is designed to illustrate Google's search methodology.

Comparison Search  http://www.gleancomparisonsearch.org is a site that allows students to compare two different sides to a topic.

Both of these sites are part of a larger website (http://www.glean.org/) that has information literacy and (coming soon) math and science tools for students to manipulate data and target critical math concepts and skills. Check it out!

This site allows you to search Flickr, Google, and a couple of other sources for media available under Creative Commons Licenses.
