Exploring Google

I've discovered / been shown some new aspects of Google which you may like to explore if you haven't already...

Google Kids and Teens Directory : open Google, on the top left corner there is a list Images Maps News etc Go along to More, in the drop down tab there is Even more - then go to Directory and then to Kids and Teen Directory. Make this a Favourite eg in your Links toolbar (ask me if you don't know about this) and then it is a quick click to get to for your students... This directory search will prioritise sites aimed at kids and teens...

Google Wonderwheel : open Google, do a search of a topic and on the top left click on Show options - check out the Wonderwheel and the Timeline...

Google squared : go to http://www.google.com/squared and type in a search eg cloud types, or planets - see what works - and doesn't work !

And check out Google Docs which is a free web-based word processor and spreadsheet, which allow you share and collaborate online.
