New Ways to Use Google!

Hello everyone!

The mother in the article assigned for class seems to have a valid point on the unauthorized use of her son's photo. I would be surprised to find my picture used in a magazine without my permission as well. Using the FACE website from the copyright lecture, I found that almost any image found on the Internet is probably under copyright. Even if the mother's photograph was could not be found having a copyright, I think that the publisher should have still contacted her to ask permission.

I was incredibly surprised when Mr. Nolan showed all the bells and whistles you could use when searching with Google. I did not know about Google scholar, and that bit of information will be so useful to me throughout my time in college. I learned much about how to tell if a site is trustworthy and if the information is reliable.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Danielle, I enjoy reading your blog entries. I thought the author was a male. It looked like his name in English is Erik. Am I missing something? I'm glad you found Mr. Nolan's information about Google to be helpful.
