Hi Dorit, I welcome the opportunity to help you and will also post in this area as well as I believe you bring upv ery important points that need to be looked at even outside the "Google" space. Looking forward to more discussion.

Agree with you 200%. Google is not the solution but it can be part of it. It is an education issue. For the past 2 weeks I have been training students and teachers how to use Lenovo Tablets. When I ask them, as part of our online section, what is a search engine - 99% of students have no clue. When I mention some names such as Google, Yahoo, Ask and specialized search engines and ask them to describe what these search engines do - - many refer to them as a "big web site" that gives you information. "I found it on Google" - the famous student sentence. We need to teach students about online research - unfortunately it is not happening in many schools nor is it on the districts' Agenda. My educator friends and I think we need to do something about it and we need some assistance from the ones whose expertise is online search.

Hi Dorit, Eric Schmidt CEO of Google did a presentation yesterday at the Celebration of Teaching and Learning and he was talking about there being better ways to search and that Google was working on something to make it less overwhelming and more direct. If I can find the interview I'll send you the link. I think you would find it interesting. Were you able to attend?
