I learned many things from Chris Nolan's presentation yesterday. I never knew about the scope that Google covered, including tools like Google Scholar and was amazed by how Google is dominating in the search engine world. I also learned about the process used when using the search engine and how Google ranks the different searches. I thought it was very clever that Google was able to rank the level of credibility of a resource.
I was surprised that websites are not necessarily reputable if they have a .gov, .edu, or .org at the end of the url. I was also surprised that more than 70% of the Internet is invisible in databases.
I really enjoyed Chris Nolan's presentation and can't wait to apply everything I learned!

Yep websites can be misleading and tricky, but with a critical eye you'll be fine.
