#12 (Week 5) Rollyo Search Tool

Cool tool! I created a Rollyo around the California Gold Rush. I was really excited by the results. I can definitely see using this as a tool for student research. This will allow students to search mulitple sites at once to find relevant information. This allows the sites to be handpicked.
One thing I noticed was that it's important to be specific when choosing websites to make sure that the searches remain relevant to the topic. For example, I linked to PBS and got search results from other pages linked to the PBS site. I'd like to experiment to see if it's possible to maek it more specific.
I was also successful adding a Rollyo link to my blog!
