Thing #17: Rollyo

I'm having fun with this Thing! I decided to create a Rollyo for bird research. It is very necessary to have a Rollyo for this subject because I've found that if you just "Google it" you can come up with thousands and sometimes millions of sites that are totally unrelated to what you want your students to read. For example, if we're researching birds and a student types in Blue Jays, Orioles, or Cardinals, Google will bring up baseball and/or football teams. Then you must weed out thousands of sites to find the "bird". Here is a link to the Rollyo that I created.

I owe this ease of this Thing to Bruce Goodner's video. Thanks Bruce! You always know how to break it down for us!
