information fluency @ Bing vs. Google - 0 views

  •  
    Here's a side by side comparison of Bing Vs Google results on the term: Information Fluency 21cif.com ( formerly 21cif.imsa.edu ) has been online for 10+ years and dominates the Google Search results. Nothing in the top ten for Bing? Google ranks our old url #1 and our new url #4. Give this a try for your self with the same terms? I'll bet you get radically different results from Google than I do. Since I've worked on the 21cif project for nearly 8 years, I know the materials well. Also Google has adapted to my search habits and provides me with more links relevant to my interest. On the Google page I'm given a link to my search-wiki results: http://tinyurl.com/21cif-search-wiki This proves the point 21cif has been making for a decade: USE MULTIPLE SEARCH ENGINES! The more sources of information you tap, the better your chances of getting a less filtered view of what's available on the world wide web

    "4.)  If you have folders that hold documents and projects that you use every year and you need to copy the entire folder you can do that by using this script.  Just authorize the script and add the alphanumeric information from the URL and rename your new folder.  Works like a charm!"

As Classrooms Go Digital, Textbooks May Become History - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • students who own laptops can register for “digital sections” of several English, history and science classes
    • Mike Cullum
       
      Will this model work for publishers? Can we obtain the rights to distribute electronically some chapters of textbooks and only pay for the portions we use? An interesting question..
  • With California in dire straits, the governor hopes free textbooks could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
    • Mike Cullum
       
      So how are we going to pay the people who do the work of creating these "free" textbooks? If we could agree on content, perhaps school districts could work together and write the books and make them available through a creative commons license.
