Thing 15: Rollyo

I read the article and explored Rollyo. I liked the existing public domain ebooks search and will add it to this blog. I could see use for it in assisting students at the college when they need to read a classic work and all of our copies are checked out.

I could see how teachers or faculty members could use Rollyo to create a searchroll to narrow search results for research papers to point students to just the web sites the teacher felt were valuable. In K-12 this could be particularly valuable. It adds a measure of security in keeping younger students off inappropriate web sites also.

After creating an account, I generated several searchrolls before I discovered that I could not delete any of the ones I no longer wanted. Perhaps the option to delete was there somewhere and I just never found it.

The link here is to my Rollyo to search for endangered animals. I added about 12 web sites that could be searched including three major news sites.
