Searchme

Searchme is a new seach engine that has a unique look to it. Results can be viewed like a stack of cards, each card showing the first page of the web page. Searchme isn't as large as Google, but it is one of those search tools that you might like in addition to Google.

I liked having the ability of looking at the first page of each result as a way to decide which web site to investigate further. Searchme also has a feature called "stack." If you see web pages that you like and want to share with others you can use the stack feature. Stacks can be added to your del.icio.us accounts. Give it a try.

My Blogs

Here are my blogs that I've started since I finished 23Things on a Stick:

Video Creations (This is for an enrichment class that I teach in the summer. I do a 3 week video production class for middle school students. The purpose of the blog was to provide information to parents and to also have some of my curriculum available online. I also thought having the information online would provide a way for my students to go back and take a look at some of the things we covered.

BC Book Talk (This is just getting under way. I thought having my booktalks that I do with students during the school year available online could provide others a resource on middle school books, especially those for boys.
