Interesting. Only took about 20 seconds to download, though.
On 5/29/2003 at 4:56 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as
nightsneak1 was rumoured to have uttered....
| From Tourbus:
|
| Hidden in a corner of my Web site at NetSquirrel.com is
| something
| called "Classroom Resources," a free collection of zipped
| PowerPoint
| presentations you are more than welcome to steal. You can
| find my
| Classroom Resources page at
|
| <A HREF="http://www.netsquirrel.com/classroom/";>
| http://www.netsquirrel.com/classroom/ </A>.
|
| The PowerPoint presentations on this page cover topics
| including
| guidelines for good Web page design, maintaining your PC or
| Mac, and
| using instant messaging as a tool for active learning.
|
| So what does all of this have to do with you? Well, if you
| hop over
| to my Classroom Resources page you'll find a brand new
| PowerPoint
| presentation titled "Google 201: Advanced Googology." This
new
| presentation introduces you to some secret Google tips,
| techniques,
| and tools -- stuff that NO ONE ever tells you about (or, if
| you are an
| English major, "stuff about which no one ever tells you.")
| From pipes
| and stop-word workarounds to full-word wildcards and query
| modifiers,
| Google 201 shows you how to work Google to your advantage.
|
| Oh, and the Google 201 PowerPoint presentation is absolutely
| free.
|
| That's the good news. The bad news is that the Google 201
| PowerPoint
| file is a tad bit gargantuan (3.30 Mb), so it's going to take
| a little
| over 8 minutes to download over the fastest dial-up
| connection. As I
| have often said in the past, patience is a virtue.
|
| Also, keep in mind that all of the PowerPoint presentations on
| my
| Classroom Resources page are -- surprise! -- Microsoft
| PowerPoint
| files. [GASP!] To open and view these files, you'll need
| either a
| copy of Microsoft PowerPoint (which is part of Microsoft
| Office) or a
| copy of Microsoft's PowerPoint viewer which can be downloaded
| for the
| PC at
|
| <A
|
HREF="http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Ppview97.aspx";>
| http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Ppview97.aspx </A>
|
| or for the Mac at
|
| <A
|
HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/MAC/download/OFFICE98/powerpoint98viewer.asp";
| >
|
http://www.microsoft.com/MAC/download/OFFICE98/powerpoint98viewer.asp </A>.
|
| Both versions of the PowerPoint viewer are free.
|
| All of my PowerPoint presentations have also been "zipped" to
| make
| them easier for you to download. If you are unfamiliar with
| how to
| unzip a file, hop on over to
|
| <A HREF="http://www.netsquirrel.com/classroom/zip.html";>
| http://www.netsquirrel.com/classroom/zip.html </A>.
|
| Enjoy! I'd love to hear what you think of my new "Google 201"
| presentation. :)
