I have embedded the Google app video below that shows how this incredible app works. Bottom line - you ask it a question or say a phrase into the phone and it runs the search. In my opinion, from an education standpoint, the instant access to information that Google and now this app allow make memorization of dates and facts far less important. It is the context and the concept - the why and how - that are critical.
