[LEARNED] Controlling Search Results

Google features many search commands, and here are the following commands I have known before todays class :
  • Search "super mario bros" : Click on the animated coin block shown on the right hand corner of the screen. Click on it to make the block bounce up shoot coins just like from the original game. 
  • Search "do a barrel roll" : The Google website will turn around.
  • On Google Images, search "atari breakout" : You can play the good old game of Atari Breakout. 

Check out for more commands here

The commands that I have pointed out above is used for fun. However, in todays class, I have learned about "useful" Google Search commands. The "useful" Google Search commands will help you organize the search results by actually making the number of search results fewer. These are the following I have picked up from a documentation from class.


  • Site:url

  • Filetype:key / ppt etc
  • “Exact phrase”
  • -exclude
  • Related:url
  • Define: word
  • word* (complete)
  • Word * (word and another word)
  • Reverse image search (Google Images)
On todays class, I have learned an important point about handling massive data searchers like Google :

"Data can be reliable depending on the way you use it, and to find the correct data to use, organising is the best solution."

[LEARNED] Launching a Site & Rules of Design

Google Sites provides us a great service on creating a new website, sharing and staying connected simply. Today, we have learned about Google Sites. You can consider Google Sites as a Google Docs that allows you to publish sites with an awesome management tools and options for several new pages to add to your site. The introduction to Google Sites has lead us to learn some designing rules, which are the colours, images, and the fonts. Keeping the rules of design on my mind should help me on my presentation and projects.

[5/9] [ARCHIVE/REFLECT] About body languages

In the past, I have indeed learned about the posture to have when giving presentations, in the past class by Rab Paterson. In todays class, rather than learning what to do, we have learned about what to not do. Don't become a robot. Don't put coins in your pocket. Don't do martial arts style guarding (where it hides the center of your body).

[IDEAS] Two Types of Slide Designs

I believe that there are two types of designs for slideshows. The first design, is based on making each slide simple with images and minimum text. This method gives the viewers static image on what the speaker is talking about. The second design method I use is the "Material UI Design". Since it is a UI design, the whole design interacts to the users with geometrical and photographic elements animated and placed according to a layout. (the layout guidelines are set by Google). For example, if you were to tell a user about a new feature, this is what Material UI Design will solve the task: https://storage.googleapis.com/material-design/publish/material_v_12/assets/0B4kv-3uZbS1qQVhNbFlVdlNsOEE/engagement-featurediscovery-single-flow.mp4
