Google 101

In last weeks class, during Google 101, I learned quite a few things about Google that I wasn't aware of before.  The most interesting thing that I learned was a newer feature on Google.  This feature allows you to upload a picture and do a search on it to find out where the picture came from.  I think that this is really neat.   wanted to try it out for myself, so I uploaded a picture of myself and got some interesting results!  Another thing I learned about was using this symbol ~.  I don't think I've ever needed to use this symbol in my life until I learned that when I use it in Google, it will look for sites about the topic, but use related terms.  I will definitely use this in the future when doing research to broaden my search results.  Another thing that i learned was .gov at the end of a URL means that the site is a federal government site.  Google 101 didn't necessarily change my opinion about Google, but instead just expanded my thinking about it and the type of research I can use it for.  This in class exercise was very helpful!
