Don't We Already Know How to Search in Google?
People use Google every day for tons of reasons. How many people, however, search effectively and efficiently? I know that for some odd reason, lots of students search in Google as if they were talking to a person. They typically type in a question and hope to find the answer. They never think to word their searches systematically or specifically enough to find exactly the information they want. Anyone who was alive before computers ran everything probably doesn't search using questions, but we probably don't always search as successfully as we want either. I admit that I sometimes struggle with knowing what limiters to put in my search to receive the best results. This is why when our Chromebooks class looked at the Google Search Infographic, I knew I needed to spread the word about this information. I gathered what I think is most useful and formatted everything to fit on one simple page. Woohoo! If you want more information, you can always go to the infographic's source, and, of course, the source has some citations that might help, too!
