I am taking a one week online cours through Knowschools.ca. It is on Google Everything. I just found a nugget that I had no idea about. When you are logged into Google, it tracks your search history. If you know you searched for something a week ago but can't remember the search words or how you found the site.... Google History has your answer. I checked for myself and I have 2038 searches since June 2007.
Check out www.google.com/history
I can see lots of potential for education with this gadget. You can have students look at their own history for the length of a project. Once finished they can go back and do a meta analysis of their searching - and compare to their peers. Who has less searches? Why?(because they are more efficient or ....)
I continue to be amazed with the tools available for us.
