Webquest

In a comparison of the Yahoo! search engine (http://www.yahoo.com) and the Google search engine (http://www.google.com),there are some very interesting similarities, but also some blatant differences. Yahoo! provides the options of searching on the web, in images, in yellow pages, and in products. Google provides the options of searching the web, images, groups, directory, and news. Both engines provide suggestions if there is a chance one misspelled a common word in your search terms. When performing any kind of general search on Yahoo!, for example searching for the terms TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION, the first several "search results" are actually paid ads in disguise. On Google, however, the ads are clearly marked as such, and all results are not paid. Beyond the paid ads, the different engines provided different but equally relevant results. Other differences are that Yahoo! offers a separate link to open the result in a new window, which is nice but actually unnecessary since anyone can open a new window from a link. However, if one is searching for something less broad, Google is far superior. If one searches for CRUXSHADOWS SCHOLARLY on Yahoo!, one is barraged with one Yahoo! fangroup posting, and 20 websites that sell term papers. (These are not good search results for this topic.)

Interestingly, about one year ago I took a survey at Yahoo! about how they could improve their search engine.

Also, technology is a priceless tool for teaching children a variety of subjects in a fun, exciting, and interactive setting. The most important thing to teach is technology tolerance. Many teachers will not accept Internet or electronic sources in research papers, and others will not accept a typed report because the student might have "cheated" and used spelling or grammar checks. Even schools that can only afford a limited number of computers should stress the importance of them to the teachers and students and demand that teachers create a technology friendly classroom environment.

It is vital that teachers be knowledgeable regarding computers and technology so that this knowledge can be utilized and passed on to the students. Having positive guidelines for teachers to follow regarding their knowledge, implementation, and productivity regarding technology is a charming idea. Colleges preparing current students to be the teachers of the future may….....
