A Revolution in Research

I know that it seems as of late that I have really been on the Google bandwagon, but they have been impressing me lately with some of the services that they are offering for everyone. As well as their new GoogleWave platform which is a much grander scale, their latest new item is a bit smaller but almost as powerful.
Again, by way of my Twitter PLN, I was introduced to Google's latest aspect to their search engine, Wonder Wheel.



So, how can this be applied to the classroom? For one, a student's research will be able to become much more focused and will help them begin to search for more specific information instead of searching for a general topic. I can see that this could also be a good way of showing students a quick type of way to break a subject into more precise topics, that they would need to know when writing a paper or posting a blog.
I know it's not going to be the end all beat all and not going to make each student automatically reach Standard of Excellence, but it is another resource that could help kids focus their thoughts when it comes to doing research.
