"Your Google Guide," by Doug Johnson.
This article is basically a short, but extremely informative, user's guide on how to use the search engine Google. The article provides a step-by-step manual of how to effectively use Google, mainly focusing on how teachers can assist their students in using Google to the best of their ability for the most efficient results.
Question 1: Was the article useful in providing information necessary for efficient internet searching?
Answer 1: As a self-declared internet "junkie," I was extremely skeptical when I read the title of the article. I thought, "Come on, now, I already know everything about Google." I quickly discovered, however, that althought I know most things about Google, I do not know everything. The article was extremely informative and provided the reader useful tools to help optimize the Google experience as a whole.
Question 2: Was the article useful in providing a different persective in regards to how Google can be used in the classroom?
Answer 2: When I read the first few lines of the article, I felt the article was going to be redundant and it wasn't going to teach me anything I didn't already know. However, I was surprised to see that the author of the article provided a different perspective by formatting the article to be specifically geared toward his audience of teachers and educators. As a teacher-in-training, I was pleasantly surprised to learn new and helpful ways in which I can expect to use the Google search engine in my future classrooms.
