Welcome to Under The Hood Dive into search and learn more about what happens behind the scenes of Google Search. Play with our Experiments Lab and get a better look at the technology behind Google.

"Gone are the days of noisy projectors and professors writing with colored markers on white boards at Briar Cliff University. Touch screens, apps and digital receivers are replacing these outdated teaching tools, as the college seeks to create dynamic classroom interaction between students and faculty by pairing the Apple iPad3 with Apple TV. Briar Cliff began providing incoming freshmen with Apple iPad tablets in 2011. This school year, the Apple TV, a little black digital media receiver, will make its first appearance on campus in classrooms and dorm lounges. "

"During this first week of school, I wanted to inspire my students to be creative and have fun with their learning.
