Google Squared Mini Challenge!

Google Squared “Mini Challenge” (Nov. 2009)

The original challenge back in Nov., 2009 was to find creative uses for Google Squared in teaching anthropology. A further stipulation was for each suggestion to cover a different question from one of the five fields of anthropology not already covered by previous contributions. The results were:

Tad McIlwraith: "kinship." (You can see the terms used in the URL.)

http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=kinship&items=unilineal&items=bilateral&items=nephew&items=mother%27s+brother&items=grandmother

Pam: Reciprocity Here is one for reciprocity:
http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=reciprocity&items=gifting&items=potlatch&items=moka&items=balanced+reciprocity&items=generalized+reciprocity

Pam: Archaeology: Domestication
http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=domestication&items=plants&items=animals&items=maize&items=eikorn+wheat&items=chili+peppers

Ann Bragdon: Globalization
http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=globalization&items=hegemony&items=&items=&items=&items=

Katrina Worley: "Human evolution", with examples "Homo" and "Australopithecus"

http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=human+evolution&items=homo&items=australopithicus&items=&items=&items=

Well…. We haven’t covered all five fields! But the results were interesting!

Thanks for playing! Brian
