rrrrrrroar!
October 30th, 2007
I’ve been thinking about searching with students recently. I have a few places I like myself, such as, Encarta, Yahoo Kids, and Grokker but Simon bought to my attention Google Kids. I did a bit of a search myself and turned up these ideas…
This site is a nice portal for “kids and teens” and offers a directory of different sites. More importantly it has tips on how to do better searches.
Two other places to have a think about:
Google Directory: Kids and Teens
Google Directory: Kids and Teens: School Time
This week has brought Leopard - the new update to OSX. I dutifully watched the instructional video (which was fronted by a Steve Jobs look alike) to see all the new things included. The things I’m liking are:
- the more consistent look across the iLife apps
- the new features in iChat e.g. screen sharing
- Time Machine for back-up
- notes and to-does included in Mail
- the new Finder that has heaps more detail and much easier navigation, even to shared computers.
Things I’m not sure about yet:
- Stacks in the dock
- the blue orb reflection in the dock under open apps.
Overall I’m very happy with my upgrade. It feels a bit faster and it’s always nice to feel like you’ve got the best/latest on offer.
