All about Google:
regain control of search
to be held in the
Netskills
Training Suite,
Google is collecting more data and
adding more services all the time. For many people it is the place to start
a search but more information and more search features does not necessarily
mean more relevant results. Furthermore, Google’s automatic
personalisation and semantic search all too often adds to the confusion. This
hands-on workshop will look at the latest developments in Google, how it works,
and how you can focus your searches for better results.
Topics covered will include:
· new developments
and services from Google
· how to narrow
down your search for more relevant results
· how Google
personalises your results – help or hindrance and can you stop it?
· Google and
social media
· essential
advanced search commands
· Google’s
specialist tools and databases
· build your own
Google Custom Search Engine
You will have ample opportunity to
experiment and try out the techniques for yourself and Karen will be on hand to
help and advise you. Exercises are provided to help you test out the search
features but you are free to explore and try out searches of your own.
Who should attend
This workshop is suitable for all
levels of experience. The techniques and approaches covered can be applied to
all subject areas.
