Cool Tools/Curriculum Ideas: Introducing Google Squared

Google just keeps providing great tools for teachers. Recently, they have developed a new search engine which organizes your results in a table. This provides you a great way to compare and contrast various topics or items all on one page. You can tailor the table to provide the information you need or want. Watch the video below to see a little more!



Now for classroom connections:

Student Research - If students are comparing two ideas or topics, this will give them a chance to easily see the information in one place. For instance, if your students are researching Native American Tribes , you may want them to compare and contrast the food, housing, or clothing of these tribes. Students often spend copious amounts of time trying to locate the information on various websites. Why not streamline the process using Google Squared. You may say, "How do they document where they get the information?" Well, each square is hyperlinked to the orginal web page from which the information came. Also a shorted URL is provided in each box so that you can see where the page originated.
