Your Google Guide
By: Doug Johnson
In this article, it mentions the simple tools that Google has to offer to the public. The many search tools that are available such as image search, scholar and book search. When doing research for any assignment, I am pretty skeptical about using websites that Google has to offer. Subsequently, I just recently realized that Google has its own scholar search tool that filters out all the non credible sources and provides users with scholarly journals and websites.
1. What’s one good way of narrowing a search on a particular topic?
By typing more than two words helps Google narrow down all the possible results. Hence, the more search terms used the more specific the results list will appear. Furthermore, by typing a topic word in a form of a question will also help minimize the results list.
2. What assignment could I create that will help my students distinguish between all
the possible results from a search?
I could give my class a list of words that would all be related in such a way that they would be forced to look at the description below each result and find the most accurate result.
