Lesson Reflection: Google Search

How will you use the tools you've  learned about Google Search for your other classes?


I think that I would use these tools in my classes such as the Numerical Range if one of my teachers give me something to look up in years such as what won Superbowl's  in the years 1999- 2005. Also I would use the Math answers tool by finding out problems in math such as if we have to find square roots or conversations. 

Which tool [similar  words, number ranges , conversions etc.]  do you believe you will use the most? Why? 

I believe that I will use Exclude words because I think  we will be getting  a lot of spelling word. Such if we had to look up mullet they could  give us hair mullet I will be talking about the fish.

Which tool will you think that you will use the least? Why?

I think that I will not use Linked Pages because I think I wont be  looking up any links.
