Look at both of these search results, look at the top two or three link results, and read the questions that follow the links:

Google Search – toys

• These are the results from a Google search for the word “toys”. Are the links listed giving impartial information, or trying to sell you something?

netTrekker search for “toys”

• These are the results from a search of netTrekker for the word “toys”. Are these giving information about toys, or selling toys?

Send me a comment with at least two complete sentences, and tell me which search had more links selling you things, and which has more links giving you information.

Here is a list of search engines:

Yahoo!

Yahooligans!

Google

NetTrekker

Go to one or more of these sites, and look up information on either cars or toys. Tell me what you found.

Blogs are online Web pages that have posts, or notes, that are sorted by date with the newest posts on top. We will be using blogs in our class this school year, so I want you to be familiar and comfortable with them.

Here is the blog that I used last year. Please look at that blog. What do you see? Does this look like somewhere you want to do work? What questions do you have? Click on comments below to send me a message or question about what you see.
