Searching with Google
Google is clearly my comfort level- I'll admit- I'm old and accustomed to habits...So ...
I type my calculations in my google search bar: (grades are boring... google is quick)
tip calculator (no one wants to be the bad tipper)
mortgage calculator (always looking for a new home- gotta know the mortgage) graphing calculator (because what would that data look like in a graph)
all sorts of conversions- metrics, Fahrenheit, Celcius, (because medicines are always in kilos)
I type my translations in the search bar ( I work with students who speak at least three languages)
I even use the timer feature just about daily (labs have to be cleaned up on time)
I type food and nutrition and get all the nutritional facts (got to be a foodie)
I love the drag and drop ...so reading about some scientific invention- I can literally drag the picture of the device into my google search- and find a bunch of related stuff instantly.
Did you know that Google limits you to your country specific results
If you want to search more world wide - you can simply add ncr on the end of your search- (no country redirect)
New things I learned and am excited to try:
A Google a Day Challenges-
This is a great bellwork activity daily
Put your students' search skills to the test with these trivia challenges.
Power Searching-
I literally signed up for a course on how to google better!? the guy was super informative and I literally had no idea about many things he showed!
Improve your search skills and learn advanced tips with online lessons and activities.
Have you ever played the "Six Degrees of Separation" game, where you try to get from one celebrity to another via co-stars in movies they have in common? (was in the course and I totally forgot how hard this was)
Live Trainings-
What else do you want to know more about ? it's like the YouTube land of Googling- how to be the best Googler ever.
Join us for live search trainings or watch past trainings from search experts here at Google.
