Are you really a pro at using Google search? I thought I was. Yesterday was a professional development day in NYC and Google search was on the agenda. I was skeptical, but I learned some valuable time-saving tricks! I am looking forward to sharing them with students. Here are my two favorites.
Filetype You can restrict your search to specific file types. For example, filetype: ppt will return PowerPoint files. I am teaching economics and I need a lesson on elasticity. The search elasticity filetype: ppt will help me get started!
Site You can refine your search to a specific site. The search tariffs site: NYTimes.com returns articles on tariffs from the New York Times.
