Computer and Library Learning (Archived)

As we've previously posted on this blog, the library offers a wide range of library and computer learning workshops.  Our Web Basics II class focuses on web searching techniques and now there's a fun way to practice what you've learned with 'A Google A Day', launched in April of this year.

This online trivia game is fully explained on The Official Google Blog but in a nut-shell, a new clue is posted every day then you set out to find the answer by searching the Web using appropriate keywords and search techniques – using Google, of course.  The questions increase in difficulty throughout the week, much like the New York Times crossword puzzle.  In fact, you can find every 'A Google A Day' question printed above the daily Times crossword.

Give it a try and if you find you need a little more help, here's a list of Web Basics II classes currently being offered at Toronto Public Library branches across the city.
