Google Power Searching Class 1,2,3

          I finished the first three classes of Power Searching with Google, and I have learned a lot so far. In class one, I learned how to filter results by color. This is going to be a very useful skill. Another thing that  I learned in class one was that the word order does matter in your query. I will keep this in mind next time I search on Google. In class two, I learned that if you type Define______ on Google it will give you a definition, part of speech, and pronunciation of the word. This skill will come in handy whenever I need to look up the definition of a word. Another thing that I learned in class two was that a single result from Google contains a title(blue), URL(green), and snippets(black). I now have some sense as to why Google colors certain things the way they do on a result. In class three, I learned that an operator is something extra you add into your query to filter your results. The last thing that I learned in class three was how to remove invasive results by using a minus sign. This unit has already begun to open my eyes to the power of Google. I look forward to learning even more about it!
