• Resource Exploration

     
    The resources for this module are linked below. The first section of content is from an online course provided by Google on Power Searching. The resources are divided into 3 sections. In each section, you will be viewing some resources and respond to some questions to check for understanding. There are a few times where the Google course will request you post something on a Google forum - ignore those questions.  Please give yourself a break to get up and stretch when you complete a section. 
     

    Section #1 Search Basics - learn what happens when you do a Google search and how your search terms can make those searches more productive. (please skip section 1.1 and 1.2)
