PowerSearchingWithGoogle Text Lessons (and slides! and videos!)


I managed to get a few minutes... 


...  to pull together a master list of all the text lessons from the PowerSearchingWithGoogle.com online course.  Here's the list for you.  Again, as with the master list of video shorts (see my post about the PowerSearching videos), these are labeled  as Creative Commons CC BY-NC, so go wild, and reuse to your heart's content!

Each lesson is the text (and slides) for each of the all around 5 minutes long, so any of them are easy to work into your program.  
(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 must non-commercial).   

Note that we'll be running a NEW version of the course starting on September 21st, 2015!  Registration opens next Monday!

Registration for the newest instance of the course will begin next Monday, September 14th.  If you've already taken the course, tell your friends about it.  I'm hoping to get a bit over 20,000 people to participate!  (Paradoxically, the larger class size enrollment makes the course much more fun.  Trust me on this.)

  1. Thank-you so very much for this listing. A few weeks ago someone passed me the beta code for The Great Courses subscription series, good for six months. Many lectures and many search opprotunities.
