Google Tips and tricks?
 

I have to teach a how-to session on "Googleing" next week.

Anyone have any favorite trips or tricks for searching with Google?

Google image search comes in handy from time to time. Right click on an image that's online and do a google image search for it. Shows you similar photos too.

I use the calculations thing a lot too. Type a math problem into the search bar instead of getting out a calculator.

current time in other cities - current weather - converters (measurements, currency, temperature etc)

And don't forget to turn SafeSearch off to get any sort of useful results.

I wish it was better at converting things like volume to weight. Flour for example - convert 1 cup of flour to ounces.

Yes - it takes me to a website that does it - but I want it to do it all on it's own.

I have a nifty mickey shaped magnet that I got at Disney world that has all those conversions. Cups/teaspoons/tablespoons/ozs/ml. We count carbs for the kiddo so it's a super handy tool.

oh... there's this.
