Thing 12: Rollyo

I think this could be quite an impressive tool at the high school level. I can see using it to share multiple good websites for projects we currently make pathfinders or wikis for. It does not allow for website descriptions and it also has advertising interspersed throughout. We will need to educate students in how to view results as well as how to search it. I too will need to study up on the search techniques that work best with it. From the FAQ page I see it is primarily relevance ranked. But can I use truncation, phrase searching, + or -? These are all things I will play with a bit more later.
