Teacher’s Corner, Lesson 12: Efficient Web Searching with DEVONagent
Welcome to the twelfth episode of the Teacher’s Corner Screencast.

I am very happy to finally publish another lesson of my regular screencast series on technologies that are useful for teaching and learning. In recent lessons I covered applications like FotoMagico, DEVONthink or Crossword Forge among others as well as web services like LEO, the online dictionary.


In this lesson I am going to explain how to build efficient queries with DEVONagent, the intelligent search agent by DEVONtechnologies. In addition to that, I'll also take a look at how to use DEVONthink as an RSS-Reader.

In this episode I give a feature overview on DEVONthink, the intelligent information manager.

Lesson 5 has also covered DEVONthink, but it was the first part of a multipart screencast which demonstrated how to set up a research project with DEVONthink. It wasn’t really a demonstration of all the application’s features. That’s why I have come to the conclusion that this lesson might not have been useful for those of you who haven’t know DEVONthink before.
