Mac or PC? Blog Post #4

 Macs and PC's both have many similarities and many differences. However, PC's are often cheaper  than Macs. A Mac and a PC come in both a laptop and a desktop form. A PC and a Mac have the same processor, and the same amount and type of memory. An important difference is the operating system. A PC has Microsoft Windows 7/8 and a Mac has OSX.  I like Windows better personally, because it is an easier system and it is more organized.  I feel like Macs have a weird and confusing mouse pad.  Whenever I use a Mac, that is what holds me back from having a really enjoyable experience with it.  I chose a Windows PC because they are cheaper than Macs, have better sound quality, and are easy and cheap to repair.

The End of Power Searching with Google Blog Post #3

I have learned several useful things from our classes on Power Searching with Google. 
 At the start of the unit, I learned that Google will give suggestions to me based on what I have searched for recently.  In class four,  I learned how to find facts at a quicker rate. I could use this skill to find out the time in Spain, the weather in Philadelphia, math conversions and calculations (1 +1), and even movie showings in Manhattan. At the end of the course, I learned how to maneuver Google books, how to separate searches by a specific time period, and how to filter color in Google images.  I can apply everything that I learned to my life and especially school. Also I can find answers that are credible faster which will be helpful for papers, research projects and homework.  I can separate searches by date which can be extremely helpful especially for History class and I can also use Google books for both History and English class. Power Searching with Google has enhanced my search skills and will help me through the course my life.
