Power Searching with Google - Course
Today's site, from Google's education arm, is directed to enabling
searchers to find the most useful responses to their queries as quickly as
possible. Gentle Subscribers will discover a host of useful search
techniques to advance their searching skills in this short online course.
"Google Search makes it amazingly easy to find information. Come learn
about the powerful advanced tools we provide to help you find just the
right information when the stakes are high." - from the website
Under the aegis of Dr. Daniel Russell, one of Google's Senior Research
Scientists, this short course, available either as personal enrichment or
with a certificate of completion, provides both video and text versions.
Consisting of six classes, the course ranges from the introductory "How
Google Works" to the concluding "Putting It All Together", while additional
topics cover more sophisticated search tools and clever search features.
Each class includes a number of lessons designed to reveal specific search
techniques, while the related activities reinforce newly acquired skills.
With interesting nuggets such as how to use color to refine image search
results, this short course delivers practical and unexpected tips.
Thanks are extended to Subscriber R.A.F. for this suggestion.
