Two Types of Wonder Wheels



In our ITEC class last time, I finally saw the Wonder Wheel that everyone said they liked. Before class, I had dutifully looked up Wonder Wheel and found on on Coney Island, pictured on the right. The Wonder Wheel of Google display is also pictured to the right. It can be a useful tool for students researching their persuasive essay topics. The limitation, of course, is it's the visible Google web database which leaves out a lot. After speaking with Dena at Aragon, I asked our new librarian whether we at San Mateo had access to academic data bases as do our Aragon colleagues. She is in the process of locating passwords, so soon, San Mateo HS students will have Wonder Wheel plus the vetted sources.
