Thing #17

Wow, thanks for the video explaining rollyo. It was excellent and made it very clear on how to set up your own list. I set up a list for my GT kids. They have all chosen a person to study, so I titled my list biography. Here is the link to that page http://rollyo.com/lford/biography/
I wasn't sure how it would work, so I tried it out with some of the people the kids chose and I got hits on all of them. The most I got was Harry Houdini at about 20,000. The others were usually in the 1,000's. This is such a valuable tool to limit the searching to valuable websites that you as a teacher or librarian know can be relied on for accurate information. I will definitely be using this tool!
