Google Jockeying

This may well be an emerging IT-infused pedagogical approach. A Google jockey is a participant in a presentation or class who surfs the Internet for terms, ideas, Web sites, or resources mentioned by the presenter or related to the topic. The jockey’s searches are displayed simultaneously with the presentation, helping to clarify the main topic and extend learning opportunities. Google jockeying has the potential to foster more engagement among students, particularly in large lecture classes. The practice builds on tools students already use, and it adds a sense of fun and spontaneity to learning.
