Interesting Meta-Search Tool

I'm on a listserv that gives great links. I received this one today. It's called Spezify.
http://www.spezify.com

According to Kathy Schrock, Help for Busy Teachers, "...a very fun and interesting meta-search tool presenting results from a large number of websites in different visual ways."

  1. Thanks for the reminder, SusanL. I had heard about Specify.com in passing somewhere but never got to go to it.

    Interesting how it presents information. Pulls in lots of relevant and non-relevant material.

    By the way, what's the listserv you are on? Is it open to all educators?

  2. Susan, thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it. On the one hand, the random assortment of visually presented stuff seems a bit. . . um. . . random. On the other hand, I searched for "myths", and the very first link that I clicked on (PlanetOzKids) brought me to EXACTLY the type of site that I had spent an hour much less successfully searching for on Google a couple of days ago! So, Spezify is certainly interesting to know about. Again, thanks!
