After presenting this session to thousands of teachers and students, I know most people completely waste their time searching Google, settling for the first thing that pops up instead of what they really need.
This doesn’t have to be the case. In just one lesson, you can turn anyone (teacher, student, even a hardcore web addict) into a GOOGLE SEARCH NINJA who can find exactly what they want the first time, every time. These are the secret tips and tricks nobody has ever told you about, all presented in a fun, engaging, completely editable PowerPoint game.
You owe this to your students if you ask them to use the internet for research. IT IS A LIFE SKILL FOR THE 21st CENTURY.
