More with Google


Found these cool search tools within Google, which some of you might already have known, called the Wonder Wheel, Timeline, and Social (have to be logged into your google account for this one).

Wonder Wheel allows you or your students to see their search results within a graphical web, along with them be located to click on the right hand side.  What the graphical web provides is ideas related to their first search to better filter their results into exactly what they are looking for, within a graphical organizer.
Timeline allows you or your students to see their search results within a chronological, browsable, graphical timeline.  These data sources include recent and historical news, blog posts, sports scores and more media results.
Social allows you or your students to see their search results from your social connections, friends and acquaintances as sometimes this information is more relevant and meaningful to look at.  You must have a google account AND be logged in to be able to do this.  

Explore and take a look by your self or with your students.
