An easy way to organize google searches...

Google Squared is tool that returns Google searches in a square/grid that are sortable by column. Some initial searches required some contextual starting points so that the application had a better idea of what to return. I tried "Models for Quality Online Learning" and it prompted me for examples. I entered QOCI, Quality Matters, and 5 Pillars. It returned these three models, and three other links related, but not as pointed as I had hoped.

I deleted some things, added one that I knew was missing and got a final square that I saved. Definitely something to take a closer look at and see if it can be used in your classes.

Update: Just tried to do some collaborative things: doesn't really allow it. In order to edit and change a table a user needs to save it as their own table. The changes are private. BUMMER. Still neat to create some nice tables of information quickly.
