Learning should be fun

Posted at 10:15 pm under Learning is Fun




As a part of this new adventure, I am determined simply to post once in a while about something fun. Hopefully the fun will — most of the time — be related to information, learning, teaching or eduation. Sometimes it may be related to none of these.

Today’s fun post is about Ms. Dewey — a search engine that entertains, at least briefly. Nevertheless, she (I insist on personifying her, since her creators obviously intended this) produces interesting information when she is consulted. Check her out, here.  I’ve known of Ms Dewey for over a year. For a time, I actually tried to compare her results to the major search engines just to see if I could see a pattern. Alas, I’m not systematic enough to have discerned any. Somewhere along the way, I lost interest, until, well I don’t know what brought her memory back. So, in the interest of fun, I introduce Ms. Dewey, the informative librarian (with attitude).
