This past unit has been very informative on the use of Google search and using different techniques. I think the most helpful part of this unit was using shortcuts to check facts so that you can confirm that the information is correct. I didn't realize until now how many different tools Google has. Most people don't even know that these tools are there. Using this tools makes a huge difference in your research.

What I have learned in my classes

So far in this class I have learned about power searching with Google. There are many features on Google that I didn't know about before I took this class. Using these tools will help a lot with your research because he can narrow your results down to find specific information. It's important that people learn these features so they can get the most out of Google. The first lesson was an introduction on how to use the essential features of Google. You learn how to filter images by color, word choice, word order, and finding text on a page. On the second class you learn how to interpret your results. Some tips to this subject were suggesting something new, focusing on thinking more deeply about your search, understanding the different varieties of media you can use, how to interpret the results page, and using the left column to filter you results in different categories. The most recent class which is class 3 you learn advanced techniques. In this class you learn the various file types, using the minus sign to get rid of words, using Or and quotes, and using intext to find results. This course will provide you with valuable information to use to help aid your research.

Hi! This is my first blog post on my computer apps blog. I enjoy this class and find it very useful. I have a picture of the Boston Bruins because they are my favorite sports team and hockey is my favorite sport to watch. I also enjoy skiing in New Hampshire during my vacations. I have watched the Olympics and so far my favorite event is the mogul skiing. I hope the United States wins first place. I also can't wait to see the U.S hockey team play.
