Lesson Reflection: Google serach
• How will you use the tools you've learned about?
• Google search for your other classes?
• Which tool (similar words, number ranges, conversions etc) do you believe you will use the most? Why?
• Which tool do you believe you will use the least? Why?
1. I will use the tools I learned about when I have homework,classwork,projects,or maybe even at home when I am looking something up for school or outside of school, especially the minus sign (-) to eliminate things I do not want in my search.
2.I will use Google Search for any other classes for research,homework, or something used for study.
3.I believe I will use the minus sign,page link, and math answers because that way if I'm at the computer with my homework or project, I can use any of those three, and maybe the other ones.
4.I will use the Multiple words the least because I really don't look up the vacation spots, my mother does, and so, I really don't find it necessary for me to use that tool. That is basically for looking up vacationing spots and I don't pay for the trips.
