Google Instant – Search As You Type

Applications for Education
I’m not sure if Google Instant will make a significant impact on classrooms, but it could certainly help some students search more efficiently.

Update: Now that I’ve had some time to use Google Instant, read Jeff Utecht’s take on Google Instant, and observed students using it, I am convinced that it does significantly improve the way that students will search for content.
