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.  :)
