Google 101
During the Google 101 lesson I learned a few things. One thing that I learned is that you can use Google to search for information like you would use on Academic Search Premier. I didn't know that you could use search strings in Google. I also learned that if you do use a search string that instead of using the word "and" you would use a "+". I also learned that you can use other symbols like * and ~. Another thing that I learned from Google 101 is that Google can give you a LOT of results but not all of them are going to be relevant to your topic they might just have one or two words from your search string in the information. I also learned that you can narrow your results by adding words like history, United States, etc. One thing that I thought was really cool that I didn't know before is that you can upload a photo that you are unfamiliar with or want more information about and Google will tell you what it is or information on the picture. I thought that you just put in words into the search box and you get an answer, but now I know exactly what words and how to put them in the search box to find exactly what I am looking for.
