For thing #6, I chose to explore Google.
I use Google quite frequently, but only to search the web for certain things. I have used the "images" part a few times, but only when I was interested in getting a new hair style and needed some ideas. I have also used "maps" once or twice when I was needing to know where a street was located or how to get to that street. But, I have never gone to the Google website to check out "news" or "shopping." When clicking on shopping, you're given a list of things that were recently found with Google product search. When clicking on news, you are given all of the top stories and they are broken down by category. I believe Google is a very useful website not only because of the features I just mentioned, but also because you can search for just about anything and always find what you're looking for. I definitely think you could use Google in a school or library setting, but you do have to be careful. While most sites are probably reliable, some may not be. I don't think students would use Google for maps, shopping, or news while in school, but the web part would definitely help them many things!
I definitely agree with your blog. Google is such an interesting and helpful website to have at our fingertips. All of the different sources of information it makes ready for us to find and use. I think Google has become so popular due to the help it has given so many people. I will always use Google, unless they come out with a search engine that is bigger and better. Good blog Brittany!
