Rollyo


I've spent some time exploring rollyo and some of the searchrolls that others have put together. I found that whenever I used someone else's roll, I could never quite find the information that I was after, and would have been better off using google, as I have worked out how it wants me search and the keywords to use to get the best results. I guess perhaps that if the rollyo guys allowed more than 20 characters when naming a searchroll I may not have encountered this problem. I also know that I can always edit the searchroll to suit myself, but once again, why not just google it? Still determined to work it all out, I created a searchroll of my own. My searchroll is called My Australian Music, and the great thing about it is - it works for me. Therefore, I can perceive some educational advantages. The main use being- the ability to create a kid friendly searchroll for use with research in the classroom. Here is my attempt: My Australian Music (By the way, I worked out the link thing)

Well Cherie, I was able to search your Rollyo search roll for both of the bands I'm seeing in concert on Saturday night (and looking forward to it, I might add) and was able to get results, so it's working well!
