Study trends over time & more: Google’s new options feature
I have been experimenting with Google’s new search options. There are MANY great features. Today I was doing some research for an upcoming project that Elliott’s RIP class will be working on – regarding hate groups and freedom of speech.
Here are a couple of searches I was able to perform with the new options.
Timeline of hate groups
A big increases can be seen from the 80’s upward. Could be a function of the availability of articles on the web for the different eras – but it is still interesting.
Pages published in the last 24 hours
Wonder Wheel (My favorite option. Organizes related topics in a “wheel”. Great way to get kids thinking about alternative search terms)
Trying your own search:
- Go to Google
