These three videos really do a nice job explaining the basics of Google. I have found myself talking about these videos to others in general conversation. Why? They helped fill in my baseline knowledge around the workings of the internet. I was not born with the internet and it was not part of my life until college. There are a lot of little parts that have escaped me base on how things change over time and my lack of intrest in computers...only so much time in the day!
As a teacher, it is good to start from the ground up when learning and teaching a concept. I am looking forward to taking these concepts back to the faculty during in-service and faculty meetings. If I am asked a simple question like...How can my daily use of the internet be effected by Google?...I understand the flexibility Google offers to users. Or...How does Google organize the structure of its overall page?...or Where can you go to change options for searching?....and etc.
I am guilty for only using "Images" and "Web". I never looked at the left hand panel to refine my searches. I do "Search" activities with students all the time. Allowing students to search for their ideas helps them to connect with the project or exercise from the start. GE's and National Art Standards can be achieved by searching by color. Students with disabilities or low interest levels can search by using their voice....way COOL!!!
I look forward to more of these videos to help me learn how to challenge students, enhance technology skills in lessons, and develop possibilities to engage all learners.
Here is a reflection I found using a search in Google/Books about a book called "Harry and Horsie". I would like to use this book as an intro in my class to how creativity, play, and inspiration works. Plus....I love this style art. I want to stop Blogging and Draw!!!
