I am not paid to write about any fabulous tool provided by Google. As an educator, I would be remiss if I did not sing the praises of all things Google. It's a Google World people, and we simply bounce around in it.
In preparing for a Google Tools workshop I will be conducting, I found a tool that I showed to my friend and guru, Angie Urling (the man REALLY knows your name now.) I tried to get my other go to girl Rachel to elaborate as to the effectiveness of this tool, to no avail. Angie had never heard of it, so I thought maybe I should blog about it.
It is called Google Scholar. Formerly a Title 1 slave, I was forever looking for research that I could expertly present in our Title 1 Plan that would provide research-based, proven initiatives in our quest for AYP. Sloshing through all of the NON research-based articles got to be a pain in the neck. However, Google Scholar eliminated that problem for me.
In Google Scholar's ADVANCED SEARCH, I found a screen that rivaled the ERIK system that I used in college. Ahhh Google, you never cease to amaze me. I could sit and tell you all about Google Scholar, but what need this tool satisfies for you might be completely different from my needs. So go and check it out!
