This week
with the Winter Web skills courses, I discovered that there are many ways to
have more reliable materials on internet searches. Technology has evolved and
gave us some revolutionary ways to deal with what we want on the web. I found
for example that were some specialized search engines that can help you find
what you want simply with a picture of what you want. I also come up with a large range of specialized
search engine showing clearly that when you want some specialized information
on the web, you can’t rely all the time on Google as many people use to do it.
What I also discovered is ‘’WWW.tuwordy.com’’ a search engine that organize the
search results by the less difficult to the more difficult to read. The reason
is that the students who go to internet for searches sometimes or generally meet
some resources directed to highly educated people. This engine with a colored
chart shows the level of difficulty, so that students can quickly find what
they want and teachers also. There are
so many tools for those who want to have some ressources on internet. But if we
want accuracy, we need to be specific with the content we want and also use
some adequate engine to meet our needs.
Hi Yvitude
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautiful and the words written are a good reflection of what we have been doing this whole week. I agree that there are so many resources and we have to be specific with what we want and what are our needs.
We all have to use modern technology in our classroom teaching/learning process. It seems that you work quite hard with your students. The link that you shared on your blog is useful.
I am sure this winter I would be learning many things with my online classmates!!

ReplyDeleteHello Yvitude,
ReplyDeleteYou're right it was a very informative week. There are so many search engines. It looks like everybody in this course is surprised. I didn't have time to study all the recommended engines, but I'm going to visit the one you mention in your blog - www.tuwordy.com. I think it will be useful for my students.
I also found I learnt much more about search engines. In fact I found out many places I have never gone into . As Tatsiana I couldn t see all the places that all our mates commented.
ReplyDeleteAs you said accuracy is important because it is important to get things quicker and more exactly.
