I had some extra time in my day yesterday, so I put energy into planning my 102 class for this summer. I'm using The Curious Researcher as my text for the first time, so I have to completely rethink the way I do 102. I plan to have students do a collaborative research project about Google before doing their own research projects.
It's amazing how much stuff there is out there about Google. "Google" is an apt name for the company. It seems like they're neverending. There's no end to what they are offering. The more I look into Google, the more I find. The more I find, the more I look. The more I look, the more I find. It's hopelessly distracting.
It's kind of strange to be blogging about Google on the Google Blogger too.
I've ordered some books about Google. I already read one on-line that is called 55 Fun Things to do with Google or something to that extent. It's great that it is entirely available on-line. Of course, it was not so great that I ended up trying out some of the 55 fun things. (net disaster was by far my favorite! wanna know what it is? perhaps you should google it. Then you can use it to destroy Google...which I found to be a disturbing idea in the book, but hey! I did it nonetheless) I think the hard copies will be less distracting and more informative.
*Reminder to self: have students check out the quiz that was in 55 Fun Things.
