Creating My Own Design

Computer Buying Project Decision

My decision for the computer buying project was the PC. The PC is a lot less expensive. Sometimes new technology can be complicated. I'm not very good at using technology so personally I would rather stick with simple and basic. I also like having a bigger screen, and a more bulkier, full keyboard. I found out a lot about computers in general from doing this project. Also, memory and storage is very important for me because of all the school work I do on the computer. In conclusion, I chose the PC because it is the computer that better supports my personal necessities.

Power Searching with Google Usefulness

This unit we learned a lot about power searching with Google. I was surprised at how much easier it would be to find results when I used some of the things we learned in the class. One thing that is useful to me is the CTRL+F because it makes it a lot easier to find things that you are trying to do research for on a very long results page. Also, filtering the color on images is helpful because this makes it easier to find what you're looking for. Another thing we learned that is useful is how to search for conversions. This is helpful because in Chemistry we use a ton of different conversion factors and if I ever needed to know one I would know how to type in my query for what I'm looking for. Lastly, something that is very helpful is to filter the results by time period. A lot of times in History class this will be helpful when looking for research sources in a certain era! In Conclusion, I learned so much this unit that will be helpful to me in the future.
