Power Searching with Google

While completing EDTC 7030 Web Teaching: Design and Development online with ECU, I also took the Power Searching with Google class. If you visit the Power Searching with Google site before July 25, 2012 you will see this message display:

Thank you for your interest in the Power Searching with Google class! The class is now closed. Although you will no longer be able to earn a certificate, you'll still be able to view the videos and do the online activities on your own starting July 25, 2012.

The month of July was full of learning activities, formally and informally. It was cool to revisit some operators that I haven't used in quite awhile and I enjoyed all the classes but my favorite was Class 5 on credibility. Thanks Google!

You can always visit Search Playground or Search Tips and Tricks while you wait on the course to open again for self development purposes. Comments, recommendations, reaction box checks, and +1s are always welcome.
