Korg mini-KP Effects Processor MINIKP B. Bing. Spaces. Summify - Learning And Social Networks. My Google+ Class @ the Library. Two days ago I taught the first of two public classes about Google+ at my library. Three days after the private beta opened on June 28th, I scheduled the classes…figuring that by the time the class dates rolled around, I’d have something to say. They became part of our library’s summer Tech Boot Camp class series–20 tech classes from July to September.
I didn’t realize that I was the first librarian teaching a Google+ class until people started pointing it out to me and asking for my class outline, learning plan, slides, etc. Good news: I’ll share what I have. Bad news: I have only an informal outline, and no learning plan or slides. I’m a public librarian, dude. The class was a one-hour true introduction to the social network, giving people a tour of the profile set-up, privacy options, and many features.
So here’s how I did the class. I distributed two printed handouts to the class: I pulled up my own profile (with a caveat that I didn’t know in advance what my contacts had posted). Search, plus Your World. Google Search has always been about finding the best results for you. Sometimes that means results from the public web, but sometimes it means your personal content or things shared with you by people you care about. These wonderful people and this rich personal content is currently missing from your search experience. Search is still limited to a universe of webpages created publicly, mostly by people you’ve never met. Today, we’re changing that by bringing your world, rich with people and information, into search. Search is pretty amazing at finding that one needle in a haystack of billions of webpages, images, videos, news and much more.
But clearly, that isn’t enough. We’re transforming Google into a search engine that understands not only content, but also people and relationships. This is search that truly knows me, and gives me a result page that only I can see. Profiles in Search Every day, there are hundreds of millions of searches for people.
