Video content from the PowerSearchingWithGoogle.com course

Video content from the PowerSearchingWithGoogle.com course Dan Russell

We just finished running...

... the updated version of the PowerSearchingWithGoogle.com course. As you might guess, it's a lot of work to pull all of this content together, making the videos, writing the content, and so on. I'd like to make it as available as possible to the most people.

So, below I've put all of the videos from that course into an easy-to-use table.

This is the master list of videos along with a short description of the topic for each. They’re all around 5 minutes long, so any of them are easy to work into your program.

And best of all, they’re all labeled as Creative Commons CC BY-NC, so go wild!

(The BY-NC label that means you can remix, tweak, and build upon these videos non-commercially; note that your new works must acknowledge my original work (a link is fine), and be non-commercial).

The texts and slides will are still in-process, but I'll post a link to them in the blog as well (just as soon as I finish them up).

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 »
