Lesson Reflection:Google Search

• How will you use the tools you've learned about Google Search in you're other classes? 

• Which tool (similar words, number ranges, conversions ect.) do you believe you will use the most? Why?

• Which tool do you believe you'll use the least? Why?

Well in social studies i would use the numerical ranges to search different events in certain time periods, and in math i could use both conversions and Math answers to help me. I could also use Find Meanings: define: for english whenever i am doing a book report.

I think that i would us the "Multiple Words: OR" the most because whenever I  want to search something I could just type the key words and it will give me all the information i will need to know. I also think that whenever I want to go on a vacation then al i have to do is type in my destination and it should list some websites that could help me.

I think i will use the Finding Meanings the least because i could just get a dictionary and look up the words.
