Thing 4 - Custom Google Search


I created my custom Google search on Martin Luther King Jr. . I've created lists of sites using Filamentality (which I like because you can use hyperlinks instead of the URL itself and you can customize the list). When I was creating the custom search, I didn't really understand what it was going to look like when I finished. I was thinking that the kids would be seeing this:

because that's what you see when you click on the URL to it. Then I saw it on my igoogle page (top photo) and then it made much better sense. I just added it to the bottom of my blog. also. I'd need to be sure to help my students with keywords to help them search the articles and find the information that they need. What I do like is that the search yields the sentence the keyword is found in. The students can then scan the article or use the find feature to locate the information they are looking for.
