Searching playground

I thought this topic followed yesterday’s post nicely. And, it’s all Google.

It’s a chance to see what you know about the world, or more accurately, what the world is searching for on Google.

From the left side of the screen, choose a category and then a topic. Then, head to the big image to see if you can find it.

Be prepared to doing a lot of zooming in and out and moving around.

Now, it’s not as simple as it appears to be on the surface. Maybe that’s a reason why it’s so difficult to find what you’re looking for when you’re actually surfing for something on the internet. It really is a nice analogy.

Those who used to attend my CIESC (Computers in Education School Contacts) would certainly nod your head if I said that we’d be doing this at a meeting for engagement.

You select a category from the left side of the screen and then go digging into the graphic to find it. I found it easier to say that it is than actually doing it.

It took a nice break from this rabbit hole to write the post.

For the classroom, this would be a nice activity to tuck away for the appropriate time.
