can you rollyo?

a couple of weeks ago we held a little something for the teachers to help them learn about a bunch of new programs and websites that we are going to hopefully start using. all of us in john's 4th hour computer support class gathered in the lobby ready to teach some teachers. each of us had a different program or website that we were going to assist in teaching about. me and angela were going to teach about the fabulous web 2.0 site, rollyo. if you don't know how to rollyo, you are about to find out. rollyo is a web 2.0 site in which you can create your own search engines to your liking. all you have to do is pick the websites that you want to search, and rollyo will create your very own searchroll! whenever you search on that searchroll, rollyo will only find information from those websites. it's a very easy way to create a search engine from only the websites you trust. now, here's the web 2.0 part. you can look at other searchrolls that other people have created, and you can even edit searchrolls created by others! there are LOTS of other things you can do will rollyo, but you'll have to check it out to see for yourself!
