Addict-o-matic
Addict-o-matic is a site to instantly find resources on a topic through multiple search engines at once. Students in your class can use this site to research a topic. If your students type in the topic title, Addict-o-matic will customize a research page for them! This site will pull resources or feeds about the topic from Google, Bing, Wordpress, Twitter, and many other resources. Teachers and students can use this site to quickly access research material. The only setback to this site is the topics are endless. The students would be able to type in and find resources you may not want them looking at. Although, the web is endless too. There are ways to block students from accessing these sites. Therefore, I believe Addict-o-matic is a great resource to use in the classroom
