Whoa. And you thought Google was helpful when it came to finding information about education. There’s a new search engine on the block that’s making waves in the edu-world. It’s called Noodle and it’s designed just for prospective students. What could be better than that? Noodle (yep, that’s the name, reminiscent of Google no?) is a search and recommendation engine that helps prospective (and current) students figure out the best educational resources based on what’s important to them. For example, you can search for ‘Harvard’ like I did, and see information about Harvard, schools related to Harvard, companies related to Harvard, guidance counseling, study abroad opportunities, test prep companies, people, and more. Not bad for typing in one word into a box.
