I have recently written about how to use Google to search for eLearning images you can actually use and how to search specific websites using Boolean operators in Google search queries. Those skills, however, are just the tip of the Google search iceberg. Starting today (July 10), you can take a free virtual course called "Power Searching with Google" straight from the folks at Google. The virtual course will be spread over two weeks and consist of six 50-minute interactive lessons. According to the Google blog, the course "blends the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) learning format pioneered by Stanford and MIT with [their] social and communication tools to create what [they] hope is a true community learning experience."
You can learn more and sign up for the course here. Even if you are not particularly interested in expanding your search knowledge, it might not be a bad idea to check out how a big name company like Google is presenting its online learning.
