Normally I use Google for my online searches. Normally I did not care what sites it would pop out I just skimmed through each site one at a time until I found what I needed. I liked using Google was fast and easy to find multiple sites that I could use when looking up stuff. I have tried Bing but it was too clustered and a headache to work with. I did not know everything we covered about the search engine and search techniques.
I don’t think my habits will change for the most part, though I think I will broaden what I use instead of just using Google for everything. I will use the information learned here to help me with future projects, learning as much as I can about them. What I learned will affect my teaching many ways. It will help me with finding new ways to teach a subject and looking at different sources for my class. Yes my students will be affected by this.
My conclusion after doing this mapping exercise was before that I never really cared how a site or search engine was designed. I would just go through the motions to find the information I wanted to use. Each search engine I used was way different than what I normally use when using Google. They were sleeker, less obtrusive ads. The information was shown clearly and easy to sift through. I know in the future I will use more than one search engine to see what information I find.
