Have You Been Grokking?



Girl Scout Cookie | Learn about Girl Scout Cookie on instaGrok, the research engine 

Grok   http://www.instagrok.com/ is a research tool. You can set it for easy or Einstein.  It is a great place to start learning the basics of  key word research.

How would I use it in the classroom.  I would take a topic and brainstorm as a class.  Then I would use the Grok website and compare your findings.  You could even use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast your findings.

The Grok will bring up keywords, websites, videos.  This is a site with great potential.  Have fun Grokking.
