TIPS FOR USING GOOGLE EFFECTIVELY
Quotation marks
Finding .edu, .gov, or .org sites
Many teachers do not allow students to use commercial websites for their research (indicated by a .com web address). Quickly find .edu, .gov, or .org websites by adding the search term site:gov, site:edu, or site:org to your search terms.
