Week 5 - Thing 12 Google Advanced & Custom Searches
Definitely worth checking out Google advanced and custom searches. I especially like the file type search. As a teacher, I can search for things like power point presentations that I might use on a particular topic. I can request a specific reading level for my students.
Another great capability is to search for sites that are like a site that i like.
I can also look for photos that are in public domain.
Great tool...looking forward to showing it to our students!!

http://utwente.academia.edu/NienkeMoolenaar/Papers/313201/Teaming_up_Linking_Collaboration_Networks_Collective_Efficacy_and_Student_Achievement
and turned it into
