One of the newest features of Google Searching is called Google Suggest. Although handy for everyday use, teachers may find this to be an annoyance in the classroom.

Turn off this Google Suggest feature:
go to the Google Preferences Page
click in the button next to "Do not provide query results in the search box."
click Save Preferences

Google's Advanced Search Page

For my Tappedin.org session of Frazel Features I'm planning to promote learning and discussion about the Advanced Search Page of Google. As part of a chapter on searching in my upcoming book, I present information on why searching using this page yields better and faster results to finding information. The advanced search page has been recently redesigned to help users better understand searching.

These are links you will find helpful for the session!

Blogging From the Beach

I am lucky to be staying in a hotel with wi-fi and it seems that they have had it for two years and I didn't know. I checked the Web site to recommend this place to a friend and saw that they had wireless. I should be reading but here I am blogging. Life is good.
