Add Real-time Search Results to Your Blog

Real-time search engine Collecta has just released a customizable widget for putting real-time search results on your blog or website. Creating your custom widget is an easy process of specifying search terms, choosing dimensions, and giving your widget a name. After making those three specifications simply copy the code and paste it into your blog's template. I've already placed my custom widget into the right hand column of Free Technology for Teachers.

Applications for Education
Collecta's real-time search widgets are very easy to create and edit. They're so easy to edit that you could alter them to adjust to the trends in the news. This could be helpful if you teach current events. Creat a widget to give your students a place to keep up with developments in big stories like the earthquake in Haiti.
