Presentation Transcript

  1. Wonder Wheel and Visual Searching • Appealing to Visual and Kinesthetic Learners • Doug Henry • Source: • Classroom 2.0 Webinars by Shelley Rodrigo of • Maricopa County Community College • URL: tinyurl.com/googleatmcccd • Link to this talk: learningforever.org

  2. Tinyurl.com/googleatmcccd – Webinar Schedule

  3. Searching on the Internet • Volume of data • Data is still exploding • Internet: 5M Terabytes, increasing by 100 Tb/Mo • Brain: 10Tb stored data - maybe more, because of better compression and indexing • Quality of the data • "There are four kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, statistics - and the Internet" Mark Twain (if he were still around) • Goal: Data-(organize)->Information-(Analyze)->Knowledge

  4. Student Searching Problems • Search term/keyword selection - wrong keywords, extraneous words, inexperience with advanced searching • Shallow searching - only looking at first page of hits • Searching too widely, too deeply, or in the wrong direction • Searching in the wrong dimension • Clustering and organizing hits

  5. Search Engines and Browsers • Different algorithms - Google (crawlers and keywords/tags) vs Yahoo (human indexing) • Ordinary search interfaces appeal to read/write learners • Visual search engines appeal to visual and even kinesthetic learners

  6. Example: Google Wonder Wheel • Introduced 2009 • Wheel display of related searches • Based on keywords, similarity • Simple interaction • Using Wonder Wheel • Run Google search – look on left • Turn off Search Settings>instant search • Browser-dependent (IE may not work) • Several videos on Youtube (listed at end)

  7. Google Image Swirl – Wonder Wheel for Images

  8. Timeline – Adding a Search Dimension

  9. Google Squared – Building a Spreadsheet

  10. Google Adwords – Formerly Google Keyword Tool

  11. Applications of Visual Searching – Keyword Highlighting Yolink

  12. Applications of Visual Searching • 1. Appealing to different styles of learning • Read/write learners - ordinary search engine results • Visual - search "visual search engines" - e.g. • http://www.masternewmedia.org/top-visual-search-engines-the-most-interesting-ways-to-visually-explore-search-engine-results/ (2009)

  13. Applications of Visual Searching • Visual and kinesthetic learners – moving and interaction http://diplomaguide.com/articles/30_of_the_Best_Educational_Tools_for_Auditory_Visual_and_Kinesthetic_Learners.html (2008) Search-cube Surfity

  14. Applications of Visual Searching - Kinesthetic Learners Touchgraph

  15. Applications of Visual Searching - Kinesthetic Learners Visuwords learning

  16. Applications of Visual Searching - Kinesthetic Learners DoodleBuzz

  17. Applications of Visual Searching • 2. Organizing and clustering hits • Group work – e.g. assign each group a "spoke“ from Wonder Wheel • Suggest new topics for assignments to group members Quintura

  18. Applications of Visual Searching- Organizing Hits Queens Library Aqua – words only…

  19. In Summary: • Visual searching with tools like Wonder Wheel can engage and assist visual and kinesthetic learners • Automatic detection of related searches can suggest new or different topics and assist in group work • Clustering and organizing of search hits can aid in the transformation of data into knowledge
