Oh the tangled webs we weave

Here's another great tool from the wonderful creators of Google.  This will be very helpful for those of you who are doing research or want to teach your students about concept maps.  All you have to do is do a simple Google search.  In my example I chose the War of 1812.  Then on the left hand side click on "wonder wheel".

This will then take other concepts related to the War of 1812 and put it together in a wheel.  It gives you a list of websites on the side that go along with the wheel.


 Now if you click on one of the branches it will give you more information that looks like this:


Pretty neat right?  Well enjoy these tips when doing your research.  Who knows maybe you will find more information that you didn't even know related to your topic!
