education, and I am not certain what this poster is referring to in
connection with the concept of "Google Apps". Therefore I am not certain
these comments will be on target or useful, I will hope that they help. I
have spent a great deal of time creating the concept of "Meet the Googles"
that explores the uses of Google specialized search tools that are far
superior learning tools for students at any level from middle school to
post-graduate research than the use of Google Web search and include
Google Images, Google Blogs, Google News, Google News Archive, Gooogle
Books, Google Scholar and Google Government to name a few. When students
are doing research these tools can greatly facilitate their learning from
quality sources on their research topics. Meet the Googles provides
bibliographies and webliographies for each of these tools, the same for
advanced Google search techniques and many many source links to Google
searches in a group of these tools that provide topical examples of these
tools in use.
Meet the Googles
A shorter URL for the above link:
AND
<http://sites.google.com/site/searchtoolsfamily/>
BTW: I came up with Search Tools Family as Google blocks the use of Google
in web addresses. Indeed the Search Tools Family page is a key example of
a Google free service that should be most useful to K-12 applications,
Google Sites, or can you say free web pages. I am backing up (a project
in progress) all of the LibGuides that I produce with Google Sites and
unlike LibGuides as far as I can determine, Google Sites provides a site
map as one produces an individual site with a number of pages.
<http://guides.temple.edu/aecontent.php?pid=4480&sid=580814>
Please note that the top box on this page leads to my individual page
boxes one at a time but on Google Sites and the site map is a copy and
paste from the Google Sites version of this guide.
Also a box below this at the same page leads to all of my Google Sites
pages except the one for images (have not gotten to this one yet) that are
related to my LibGuides. This site map feature eliminates the need for
both long pages of many boxes and many tabs for very extensive websites,
in my case research guides, as exemplified in this example:
<http://guides.temple.edu/general-internet>
<http://guides.temple.edu/aecontent.php?pid=1282&sid=354085>
If you experience difficulty loading LibGuide pages, consider this another
advantage of the more compact and interconnected Google Sites way of
designing websites. Google Sites are free and require a login with a
Google Gmail account, now also referred to as Google Mail. Gmail is a
royal pain in the neck for me to use in contrast with Yahoo Mail,
Mail2World, Hotmail and some others as clustering of messages, not sending
messages sent to lists by oneself back to them and other unchangable
treats in their email world are a nightmare that I must deal with as
Temple University adopted the corporate version of Gmail that works
somewhat differently than their consumer Gmail. Google Documents and
other office products do not work as effectively as the Microsoft Office
tools in the ways that I use these kinds of applications.
I hope that this will help.
