In order to get the best results from a Google search, there are some advanced searching features you can use. Students would really benefit from learning to use these, too. Try these yourself, then plan time in your lessons when it would be beneficial to show some of these to students (or schedule Tammy Turner to show them to your students). It would probably not be advantageous to show students all of these at once. Work them in where they make sense and are useful. Take a picture of your students conducting advanced searches and tweet about it.
