Thing #11

I thought technorati was the easiest searching tool that had the best information. I liked how this site was organized and everything was easy to find. At the top of the home page, technorati had several categories to narrow your searchs including technology, business, entertainment, lifestyle, sports, politics, videos, and blogging. It even included the lastest news and had a list of the most popular blogs of the day. I found tons of awesome sites and blogs that caught my interest. The hardest site for me to navigate was the syndic8.com. I was totally lost and confused when I tried searching on this site. The home page was formated weird, and I thought it was cluttered and unorganized. When I typed in a topic to search this particular search engine was very slow and I got frustrated trying to find a blog that appealed to me. The only element I liked about syndic8.com was the fact that it showed the date the blog was created when I searched. The blog that I found most useful was called Mrs. Cassidy's Classroom Blog. Mrs. Cassidy had wonderful ideas and videos for activities that she had performed in her own classroom. I thought this site would definitely help me out when I need a good idea or even in my first few years of teaching I can observe her videos and collect great information! Another great navigator and searching tool would have to be Google. I thought information was easy to find and related to what I was looking for. Throughtout the rest of my college years and into my career I could definitely find myself utilizing my new RRS skills.
