Googled

Although I was not in class on Tuesday to hear Chris Nolan speak about search engines through the class website I was able to find some useful information about searching.  I most often use Google when searching for information on the internet and I was not aware of the different ways Google actually works.  Learning about the different ways you can limit or expand your searches to ensure that the information you get is relatable to what you are researching will be very helpful next time I am using Google.  I always hear about the dangers of using Google in research papers and how it can often not be accurate information, but I learned there are ways to check your sources.  For example, you can check the URL and the information about the creators of the website to ensure that it is more accurate.  Also, learning about Google scholar was very interesting.  I had no idea it existed and now I will certainly check it out next time I am working on a research paper or a presentation.  So, although I was not in class to hear the speaker, I learned a lot about Google that I did not know through the class website.  I will definitely keep all of this in mind next time I am using Google.
