Info.com

Everyone seems to be familiar with google so i would like to compare info.com to google. Like google you can search the web, images, videos and shopping. Unlike google info.com has a job tab and research tab, these are great tabs for a website. Info.com searches all the great search engines like google, yahoo, bing, ask and about. These search engines are the top of the line and I think that info.com is a smart for using these search engines. Info.com can be looked at in different languages and has a place where it helps you figure out how to research things and how to use key words. I don't think that info.com has and disadvantages, it's a small search engine website that is creditable great website and I will use it again for other research.

RJA#7c: Field Research Plan

For my field research I plan to interview a teachers thoughts on single sex education verses co education. Also I would like to interview someone who has had learned in both environments and ask them their thoughts on which one they thought was a better learning environment and why. I will ask both people who I interview their thoughts and then I will ask follow up questions depending on how they respond.
