Special Assignment #1

1. Did you know about WolframAlpha? No
2. Did you know about GoogleSquared? No
3. What percentage of China's population is the population of the United States? Approximately 24%
4. What percentage of India's population is the population of the United States? Approximately 25%
5. Now what do you think about the facts reported in Do You Know? The information validates how fast our world is changing.  It is astonishing.
6. Do you think that WolframAlpha and GoogleSquared will be useful for you and your students? Why or why not? I think both of these sites could be helpful to everyone.  When you use GoogleSquared you can see a lot of information about similar topics right away.  Each topic has specific links to find even more information on what you might be looking for.  This is really cool and it can save you a lot of time!  When you use WolframAlpha there are graphs that explain the text.  This could help students who are visual learners put things into perspective.  I will definitely make use of both of them.
