This companion page to the American PBS Frontline program Education in the Digital Age focusses on the use of Google technologies and 1 to 1 computing in a school in New York another at Chatham High School.\n\nThe site includes classroom video footage as well as interviews with teachers and students and links to resources from the school. The need for teachers to challenge students with relevant tasks whilst acknowledging that students can and will multi-task in ways that traditional classroom practice can't meet is graphically demonstrated. The program also points out the disconnect between what some teachers hope their students are doing in relation to their school tasks and the reality of what students are really doing. Particularly telling are the admissions by one student that he would love to read Shakespeare but he instead uses web based summaries and the teacher who whilst still "fighting the good fight" acknowledges that "her time is over".

Want to set up a search for students so that they get results specific to them and not from the whole web? Do you have a website that you want to your visitors to search within? If so then setting up a Google Custom Search my be just what you need.

"A Custom Search Engine is a tailored search experience, built using Google's core search technology, that prioritizes or restricts search results based on websites and pages you specify. Your Custom Search Engine can be tailored to reflect your point of view or area of expertise. With a Custom Search Engine, you can:

* Apply your website's look and feel to the search results page.
* Provide search refinements within results pages to make it easier for searchers to find the information they're looking for.
* Add sites to your search engine's index as you surf the web.
* Invite friends and trusted users to co-edit and contribute to your search engine.
* Make money from your Custom Search Engine by participating in Google's AdSense program.

Once you've defined your search engine index, Google will give you a simple piece of code for a search box to place on your site or blog. You'll then have the option to choose various customization options to make the look and feel and functionality of your search engine your own."

There is increasing discussion about whether Twitter's "real time search" could pose a threat to Google. While Twitter may or may not pose a threat to Google, it is clear that real-time search such as leveraging Twitter is becoming increasingly important. Mark Carye at MTHacks decided to get realtime twitter search results on Google so he created a Greasemonkey user script that does exactly this. It displays the most recent 5 tweets for the query that you are search for, giving both real-time Twitter search results and Google results on the same page. This entry also has some interesting links to the Google/Twitter search debate as well as other ideas related to searching via Twitter.

Liz B Davis http://edtechpower.blogspot.com/ has created an expanding list of Educators on Twitter that can be sorted across different criteria like country, state, subject or grade level. In an attempt to create a more malleable list Liz made a Google form for educators to fill out. She then made the corresponding spreadsheet public, so that anyone can sort it. If you haven't already, please complete the form and add yourself to the list.
