Project #15

1.Dogpile.com
This is a fairly clean search engine, my meaning that the homepage isn't covered in an abundance of ads and other distractions. It hosts many categories over the subject one is searching for such as websites, images, and news. One the first page on the subject it shows the definition of what you are looking for as well as an area where you can find more information about it.
2. Ask.com
A more simple search engine and groups more relevant subject matter on the first page. Allows for more quick and ready information on the topic other than wading through multiple pages until finding the source that you need.
3. Duckduckgo.com
The search engine instantly provides information about the subject with definitions and meanings. The homepage has little to no ads or spam unlike other popular search engines. Also, the information is all on one scrollable page and much more relevant to the topic by providing government and viable websites.
4. Wolframalpha.com
This search engine is a quick answer engine that is developed by Wolfram Research. Unlike other quick answer search engines which include user based answers, this engine uses calculable data such as measurements and answers to equations. It also provides accurate answers from reliable sources rather than listing multiple pages relevant to the subject.
5. Alltop.com
Alltop is known to be the oldest blog search engine on the net. It is primarily used to search for blogs related to a topic or subject being searched. Not only will it bring up blogs where the information is being discussed but also blogs that specialize in only that subject; such as when on is searching for education blogs it will bring up blogs that are written for education subjects and not just mentioning them.
6. Ohloh.net
This engine is primarily used to find code sources. according to the website it can process over 21 billion different types of code at a single time as well as in different languages and projects. I can see this showing good promise in EDM310 when looking for code sources to use in my own blogs.
7. Academicinfo.net
I have personally used this website multiple times for my college papers in the past. It is a wonderful search engine to use in which to gather wonderful sources that are appropriately cited as well. It encompasses a vast database from various online schools and libraries and is very accurate in finding relevant sources to ones topic.
8. Iseek.com
This website I also found to be of great importance to education majors. One needs to simply ask a question in the search bar and the engine provides a multitude of relevant sources to answer it. All of these sources are of course related in an educational sense and one doesn't even need to provide a topic in the form of a question for it to be answered either. I would definitely see myself using this to provide background to the subjects I will be teaching future students as well as answering problems encountered in the classroom.
