It’s Tuesday again! I don’t know how the weeks keep passing by so quickly! This week, we’ll be focusing on how to change the reading level of your Google search results!
NOTE: Google has since removed this awesome option from their search engine. In the meantime, I’ll be leaving this post up in hopes that they bring back the option!
Now, onto the tutorial! This one is actually short and sweet, and it’s so easy that your kids can do it themselves! Now you can avoid sorting through websites that are way too difficult when your students do research projects!
So, I’d love to know… how do you think you’ll be using this tip in your classroom?
Lisa R. says
I had no idea that you can even do this! Thanks for the tutorial. This will be great when I'm looking for informational websites to show my students about a specific topic that we are studying!

Thanks for the tips!!!! I plan on using it for research with the kids.
TurntoLearn says
Awesome! I hope it helps them find better websites!
Sheryl says
This is the best advice yet! Thank you so very much. Didn't even know it was possible. I will be using it for my first graders to do their forest animal, snake, and bird research. Fabulous tutorial. Thanks again.
TurntoLearn says
Aww thanks! 🙂 I hope it makes the kids' lives easier!

So.. I"m wondering how you find all this cool stuff out?! Is it something you've learned in a class or just by user trial and error? You are awesome!

Most of it I find by trial and error! I usually give myself time to click around websites and programs and end up finding some really useful this!

Hi Jessica! I just found your blog through the music linky party and am so glad I found you! Funny thing is… after looking at all of your techie posts, I was going to suggest that you become a contributor to Technology Tailgate. Then, I check the blog and realized that you already were… oops! I am also a contributor and look forward to blogging with you! Thanks for posting all of the great tutorials!

This is GREAT! I teach technology to students in Kinder through 12th grade. We do a penquin project with 4th graders, so this is a HUGE help. I especially like that when you change it to BASIC, Wikipedia is no longer the first choice on the list. This will also be great with my 3rd graders when they are doing their Titanic project. GREAT ADVICE. Love your site!
TurntoLearn says
Awesome! I didn't even notice that about wikipedia but it's true! Two birds with one stone! I'm so glad you'll get such great use out of this tip!!!

Your blog looks really helpful and you have a new follower. Please come check out my new blog: http://myinspiredclass.blogspot.com
