Group promotes live Internet searches as classroom tool - BRITTANY ANAS, News Sentinal
Google might become a more frequent guest in college classrooms. A group that keeps tabs on technology in higher education says "Google jockeying" could be on the cusp of becoming a university trend as classrooms become more advanced. Here's how it works: A student aide surfs the Internet for terms or Web sites mentioned by a professor or a peer who is giving a presentation. The Google jockey might have a script, pulling up a pre-determined list of Web sites onto the projector. The jockey could also conduct freestyle searches, and students could send real-time instant messages asking for certain Google searches or Web sites to be displayed. A Google jockey could be considered the spontaneous cousin of the PowerPoint presenter.
