PowerSearchingWithGoogle MOOC restarting on Feb 8th, 2016! Dan Russell

I'm happy to say...

.... that we're re-opening the PowerSearchingWithGoogle.com MOOC. As you know, this is the online course that covers a lot of basic search skills (such as advanced operators) and a bit of intermediate skills (such as how to evaluate the quality / credibility of a resource you find online).

The newest incarnation of the course starts on Feb 8th and runs for two weeks.

After that, I'll be running it every two weeks until the middle of June. (Between you and me, my hope is to get at least 100K people to register for the course. I'd really like to change the way people search online!)

In any case, please let your friends (especially teacher and librarian friends) now about the course.

The course is free to anyone who wants to take it.

And, as I mentioned in an earlier blog post, all of the content is free for you to use in your own teaching.

Register now and be a better SearchResearcher in just two short weeks!

I'll look for you in the course.

I study the way people search and research. I guess that makes me an anthropologist of search. While I work at Google, my blog and G+ posts reflects my own thoughts and not those of my employer. I am FIA's Future-ist in Residence. More »
