Can you Google?

I was looking through my RSS feed, and came across this today, and thought it was fantastic, so I had to share!

Much of this, I learned while I was in college, from a science professor who actually drove me up a wall. Honestly, the only useful thing he taught me was how to properly search the web. This nice (big) poster puts a lot of the tips I've learned with some that I haven't even heard of. This would be a great tool for Highschool and College students.


**Note....from what I can tell from my experience, the "command key" is the CTRL key. I just wanted to make sure that was understood. I realized this when it mentioned the "Command + F" function. It is the same thing as "CTRL F" which helps you search a document or site for a specific word or phrase.

  1. Wow! This is awesome! Wish I would have known more of this before! I did know some of it, very little when you look at the big picture. This would help a lot of people if they knew how to correctly search. Even the simplest tip of not asking google a question is helpful. Thanks, will have to share this!
