Thing #14

The title of the post should be The Power of Technorati

In using a keyword search for “School Library Learning 2.0” the results were as follows:
Blog Posts: 816 results
Tags: 4 results
Blog Directory: 1105 results

Since I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Blogosphere and the whole process and pieces of blogging, it took me a while to narrow the searches. I felt overwhelmed at first, but watching the Technorati Video Goodness was like finally reading the directions for the bicycle you put together Christmas Eve and the handlebars don’t move. Tags are such a fantastically simple way to to help tame and organize.

Thank goodness for Thing #14 to show how varied the results can be and allowed me to walk my students' shoes.

  1. I hadn't thought about using this with students to show the overwhelming number of responses to a search. Great idea!
