Sonja Fuchs, Web Technology Specialist

Instead of using the following slides, focus on:

1. Doing searches on Images, Videos, etc. and further filtering by Use,

length, etc.

2. Show options in advanced search (cog)

3. Search operators like “prussic acid poisoning” or “how to wean a calf

– ehow”

4. Hacks: Sunrise 58103, timer, delta 529

Weather, etc.
