    I knew of a couple but rarely do I ever use them because I don’t much use www.google.com. I have ever only use three or four of them. I think I would if I needed to. Why doesn’t our library teacher tell us about this?

    I use about six out of ten of these tips. One like area code look up and using the site name or producer. Even though i did learn some new techniques about internet serching my favorite is still just typing in key words. Not only because it's faster but it still gives me the best results.

  7. I use google all the time. I pretty much know how to use all the tips. They aren't that hard to figure out. They do making serching and finding the information that you need quicker and easier.

  9. I knew that you could use google as a calculator, I knew that you could look up area codes, find what time it is in different parts of the world, and I always put in spelling words I didnt know. But what I didnt know is that you could look up specific documents, search with ranges, or exclude specific terms. Thats pretty interesting

  10. There are a couple of tips i already do use, like for example the loctaion tip. I think that one is an obvious one to do when looking for something around your area. Using google as a calcuelator is somehting i did not know you could do. I have never tried it either, i might consider it next time i need to know a problem on my math homework
