Custom Search Engines
I created this custom search engine (CSE) with my course from The Instructional Design class in mind. I realized that a crucial piece was missing - gaming as a means of self-assessment. My CSE focused on the use of gaming in the field of Social Studies.
Creating a custom search engine (CSE) is important in education when the instructor wants to have a particular focus on a search for their students. Creating a CSE allows for a bit of control with the information the students are exposed to as they explore the internet. As I begin the pursuit of online instruction, this will be an invaluable tool for instruction and exploration.
