Google Bombing – an experiment

In a recent PSE lesson with my form we conducted a google bombing experiment.  We all shared a search phrase we would like to use to link to our blogs.  We then created a new post on our blogs, added the phrases and turned them into links.  The results have been quite interesting.  The original post can be found here.

I think some of the class have now got to grips with a google bomb and have seen in reality how they can easily influence a global search engine.

Another great starter. I’ve used this in three ways;

1. projected on the board with me typing and the class shouting out answers
2. each pupil signed in individually
3. playing as a team

A new game starts every 3 minutes or so and you get to play against loads of other people on the web. The kids love it and its a great way to warm up the brain before a lesson.
