Research and Search Engines

Page history last edited by Mrs. Train 11 years, 4 months ago

Google, of course, it the king, the emperor, the ruler of the universe. And it keeps getting better. There are all kinds of tips and tricks to finding things on Google, so it deserves its own page here.

 

But there is also Yahoo, Alta Vista, and others. Some are graphic, some are specialized.

 

Wikipedia - is it reliable?

 

Educators can set up their own customized search engines that help guide students to desired results. Teachers also sharing customized searches by exchanging links or making their engines public. Visit http://www.google.com/educators/p_cse.html for more information.
