Using Google.

Ah, this is much better. Let's learn how to search, starting with what you almost certainly know how to do:

1. Open a separate window.
2. Type in www.google.com and hit Enter.
3. Type in your search and hit Enter again.

Easy. What you need to learn to do is to think creatively about what you type in step 3; you also need to learn to use Boolean operators to limit your search. Here's a list of a few of those:

AND
OR
+
-
""

We'll discuss what they do in class, as well as how to refine a search to find exactly what we want.

Next up: Googling blogs.
