How To Add Customized Searches To Google Deskbar

Google Deskbar is one of many great google programs that allows you to search the internet from your desktop. Customized search is one of the great features. You can search through other searchbars on web pages.

Steps

1. If not already done, download the Google Deskbar

2. Click the small down arrow next to the search bar.

3. Click options on the top of the drop down menu.

4. Click the "Customized Searches" tab.

5. Click "Add..."

6. Open the page with the search bar you would like to add, leaving open the "Custom Search Description" window. EX. www.wikihow.com

7. Type a word (any word) into the search bar and click search.

8. Copy the address in the address bar.

9. Paste into the "URL" section of the "Custom Search Description" window.

10. Read through the URL until you get to where it has the search term you typed earlier.

11. Replace the term with {1} . Must be typed exactly. EX. http://www.wikihow.com/special:search?search={1}&fulltext=search

12. Name the Customized Search. EX. wikiHow

13. Give it a shortcut letter or symbol. EX. W (Optional)

14. Click "OK"

15. Click "OK" again unless your going to make more changes or add more Customized Searches.

16. From then on, when (this is with the wikiHow example) one wants to search wikiHow for (example) artichokes, all one would have to do is type 'artichoke' into the Google Deskbar and click Control(Ctrl)+W.

Tips

  • A shortcut can be used, but is not necessary. If you don't think you would use the Shortcut, don't bother putting a letter in the space. Without a Shortcut, you will have to click the down arrow and then click (example) wikiHow after typing your search term.
  • Some websites use a URL search term that cannot be used in the Google Deskbar. This is because when searching with these, they don't put the term being searched into the URL.

History Of Automated Adaptive Instruction In Computer Applications

Within the field of human-computer interaction there has long been interest in developing adaptive automated instruction software to facilitate learning of application programs. This software would monitor a computer user's behavior while he or she uses the application program, and then provide optimized and personalized instruction to help the user become more skilled with the application. This form of instruction could be performed by a stand-alone tutoring application, or it could be carried out by special routines built into the application program itself (as with the Microsoft Office Assistant discussed below). Note that the history of adaptive learning approaches to education in general, some of which is summarized in the Wikipedia articles on spaced repetition and electronic learning, lies beyond the scope of this entry.
 
Chronology of developments in the field

A variety of different strategies for automated instruction in computer applications have been discussed and tried over a period of at least 25 years, although at present the technology does not appear to enjoy very wide application. Some of the notable developments in this field are listed here:

1956. Gordon Pask and Robin McKinnon-Wood develop SAKI, the first adaptive instruction system to go into commercial production. SAKI taught keyboard skills and it optimized the rate by which a trainee keyboard operator learned by making the difficulty level of the tasks contingent on the learner's performance. As the learner's performance improved the rate of teaching increased and instructional support was delayed.

1992. C. Thomas and M. Krogsaeter describe an adaptable extension to Microsoft Excel called Flexcel. Flexcel records and studies the user's command history using Excel and "analyzes the user's interaction style and presents adaptation suggestions."  For example, the program notes when a user repeatedly fails to utilize an available shortcut and reminds the user about the existence of the shortcut.

1996. S. Bhavnani and colleagues describe an Active Assistant for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) programs, for which they constructed a prototype versione. The Active Assistant records the history of a CAD user's usage of the program, and monitors for "symptoms of suboptimal and incorrect CAD usage" . Upon discovering such cases, it might provide "textual notification that there is a better way to perform a task executed by the user"  or it might provide "graphic remediation" utilizing a tutorial window.

1996. Microsoft introduces the Office Assistant--often referred to as "Clippy"--to provide personalized assistance in the use of Office 97 products. Depending upon user-set options governing Clippy's behavior, the animated agent can provide a variety of forms of advice to users, based on inspection of the user history and comparison with optimal prototypes. Clippy becomes relatively notorious among some Office users, who complain that the agent is intrusive and annoying.

1996. Oppermann & Thomas describe an approach for Supporting Learning as an Iterative Process where users of an application to be learned can acquire usage knowledge iteratively by experience, annotations and individual or cooperative recourses to prior knowledge.

1999. F. Linton describes the OWL (Organization Wide Learning) Project undertaken at The MITRE Corporation in Massachusetts, USA. In OWL, all of the computer users within an organization run software that keeps track of the Microsoft Office commands they issue. By pooling and comparing the command histories of different users, OWL can "recommend to each user individual selected Word features that their peers have already found useful" .The prototype of OWL was constructed using Visual Basic and records all Office commands given by the user, including with the mouse.

2001. Oppermann & Specht describe a Context-sensitive Nomadic Information System that supports learning by adaptive information about museum exhibits while roaming through a museum.

2001. Microsoft demotes the Office Assistant to a subordinate, non-default status within the Office XP applications 

2006. Fujitsu Corporation files a US patent application (#20070092857) on a "Method and apparatus for supporting training, and computer product." The application claims that Fujitsu invented the idea of "An apparatus for supporting training for using an application program, comprising: an analyzing unit configured to analyze a record of usage of functions in the application program based on an operation history of the application program; and a generating unit configured to generate data relating to the training based on a result of analysis by the analyzing unit." (Independent Claim 7)

Free Download GMail Drive

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Mail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to it.

Ever since Google started to offer users a Gmail e-mail account, which includes storage space of 6000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your Google Mail Account and retrieve them again.

When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the Gmail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.

How to Add Google Analytics to Blogger

Do you know which websites refer the most visitors to your site? Or the most common keywords used to find your site? Google Analytics can provide the valuable answers to these questions, and many more.

1. Open a Gmail account if you don’t already have one.
2. Create a Google Analytics Account.
3. Click on: 'Add Website Profile.' Installing Google Analytics does not require knowledge of HTML, but there is a piece of HTML code that must be copied onto your blog.
4. In the box, enter your URL. (For example: www.yourwebsite.com or yourblog.blogspt.com.)
5. Set your Country and Time zone, and hit Continue.
6. Highlight the tracking code displayed in the large box and 'Copy'.
7. Sign into Blogger. Click on the 'Layout' Tab, then click on 'Edit HTML'
8. Click on 'Download Full Template' to back up your template onto your computer. It's always a good idea to back up your template before you make any changes.
9. Scroll down to the bottom and paste the tracking code just before the closing 'body' tag.

10. Back in Google Analytics, click on 'Check Status' or 'Verify Tracking Code' under the Status column. Once your tracking code has been verified, the status will change to: 'Receiving Data.'
