Official Google Blog: The future of search - 0 views

  • There are lots of ways that search will need to evolve in order to easily meet user needs.
  • how search might change over the next 10 years.
  • In the next 10 years, we will see radical advances in modes of search: mobile devices offering us easier search, Internet capabilities deployed in more devices, and different ways of entering and expressing your queries by voice, natural language, picture, or song, just to name a few. It’s clear that while keyword-based searching is incredibly powerful, it’s also incredibly limiting. These new modes will be one of the most sweeping changes in search.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Modes
  • Maybe the search engines of the future will know where you are located, maybe they will know what you know already or what you learned earlier today, or maybe they will fully understand your preferences because you have chosen to share that information with us.
  • The media of the results matters.
  • Yet our presentation is still very linear (the results are just a list) and even (no one result is more important or larger than the next).
  • it’s an important first step to exploring the full range of what we can do with rich media.
  • The face of search will change dramatically over the next 10 years. Maybe it should contain even more videos and images, maybe it should sharply differentiate the relative weight and accuracy of the results more, maybe it should be more interactive in terms of refinements?
  • Personalization
  • search engines of the future will be better in part because they will understand more about you, the individual user
  • Media
  • Location
  • Your location is one potentially useful facet of personalized information
  • Since location is relevant to a lot of searches, incorporating user location and context will be pivotal in increasing the relevance and ease of search in the future.
  • Social
  • Another element of personalization is social context.
  • There’s a lot of expertise, knowledge, and context in users’ social graphs, so putting tools in place to make “friend-augmented" search easy could make search more efficient and more relevant.
  • Language
  • We know there are cases where an answer exists on the web, but not in a language you read. This is why Google is investing in machine translation. We want to be able to unlock the power of web search for anyone speaking any language. The basic concept is – if the answer exists online anywhere in any language, we’ll go get it for you, translate it and bring it back in your native tongue.
  • Conclusion
  • Search is a 90-10 problem. Today, we have a 90% solution
  • that remaining 10% of the problem really represents 90% (in fact, more than 90%) of the work

  • PKM consists of practical methods for making sense of the increasing digital information flows around us
  • The term personal knowledge management (PKM) isn’t about management in a business sense but rather how we can manage to make sense of information and experience in our electronic surround. Personal – according to one’s abilities, interests & motivation (not directed by external forces). Knowledge – connecting information to experience (know what, know who, know how). Management
  • Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy, or, in other words, digital networks enable multiple connections, so organizational communications are no longer just vertical.

  • Tim Kastelle (a great source of knowledge on innovation) discusses how it’s better to have a good idea than a large network to fire off any old idea.

eSN Special Report: Small-group collaboration | eSchoolNews.com - 0 views

  • Educators are increasingly seeing the value of having students collaborate in small groups on classroom projects—and whether such projects involve producing a written or multimedia presentation, solving a math problem, or creating a video, technology can facilitate the group process.
  • Some educators believe students gain a deeper understanding when they participate in group projects.
  • "When a teacher lectures to them, they forget; when you have kids help design something, they will remember for a lifetime

  • Groups of older students often collaborate on a wiki, journal, or blog using laptops connected to the same document through Google Apps, he says.

  • The idea is to have four or five students, already equipped with netbooks, collaborating on an assignment, with all of them able to view projected images
  • the projector will be useful for teacher collaboration,
  • Plano’s curriculum stresses multitasking in classrooms, which means some students might be working in groups, while others are working individually or listening to the teacher. "To get the most personalized learning," Hirsch said, "everyone shouldn’t be working on the same thing at the same time." He believes mini-projectors could be a "key component of multitasking in the classroom."

  • when their work is displayed on a projector and the whole group can see it easily, he says, "they are truly working as a group."
  • each group have a student identified as a facilitator, recorder, and possibly, reflector, with those positions changing from project to project. After a group completes its work, the students can use the projector to share what they’ve learned with the whole class.
  • "It’s harder for a student to be silent; there is more pressure to participate."
  • Collaborative projects not only help teach content, but also can help students develop 21st-century skills such as communication, time management, teamwork, and facilitation
  • With this approach, "the teacher is seen less like an evaluator and more as a coach, facilitator, and mentor. Teachers today need to know how to mix and match those different roles to maximize learning."
  • Communication and collaboration are among the key skills necessary for succeeding in school and life, as identified by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, along with such skills as critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, flexibility, and media literacy.
  • The partnership defines collaboration as the ability to work effectively and respectfully with diverse teams, the willingness to compromise to accomplish a common goal, and the ability to share responsibility for collaborative work and to value the individual contributions made by each team member.

Learning with 'e's: The ripple effect - 0 views
