Still <3 using color filtering when someone asks about a book with a certain color cover!
 
+Tasha Bergson-Michelson was the first one to show me how to search on Google for books by cover color (hint: filters in image search), so I trust she will enjoy this display.

This picture (via Facebook) is apparently from from a store in Houston called Blue Willow Bookshop.﻿

Yes, I had the same experience when seeing this library exhibit. Yay for Tasha's color searching lectures.﻿

Know a classroom teacher who has his/her students do research in an unexpected subject area? One you might not associate with research skills? I'd love to hear about him/her. Post here or ping me privately.

Thanks!﻿

More excellent work from gifted educator Debbie Abilock.
 
""STUDENTS ASK, “WHY SHOULD I TAKE NOTES?” Monday morning. The class was buzzing with activity. The tri-fold travel brochure and artifacts had to be ready for Travel Night next week. The note cards and country report were due this Friday. Carly and LaDonna were well on their way to meeting their teacher’s rubric requirements. They had gathered information on the geography, economy, politics, and culture of Brazil, and downloaded a map, flag, and some pictures for their display. They’d met the source requirements: one print book, an encyclopedia (not Wikipedia), and three websites—one more than the required minimum. They were ready to write. But why did they need to take notes?" Read more in  "Adding Friction: How to Design Deliberate Thinking into the Research Process," Library Media Connection, Jan/Feb 2014.﻿

The article doesn't really make the case that note-taking is a useful or important skill for young students.  It seems to more or less take that as given.  As an engineer, I'm dubious.﻿

Looking for iconic images of women and found this very apt commentary. It is entitled "Wrong Century."

Hi Ramon! Hope you are well, too. When I first saw this article, I thought it was begging for a search challenge......﻿

Over 20% of our students are on a #blinddatewithabook -- that is some pretty amazing programming in action!﻿

Story
Tagline
Librarian and search geek. Passionate about how we teach people to find what they want, and making it easier than ever with search.
Introduction
Passionate about enabling people to find quality information with popular tools. Equally passionate about methods for learning and teaching about search. Google Search Education expert.

Favorite book: The Phantom Tollbooth.

While I work at Castilleja, these post reflect my own thoughts and not those of my employer. It is completely my own obsession with search and wonder that I share here.
