You know a thing or two about the web. Sure, you can search for cat videos, but how do you know you’re finding the BEST cat videos on offer? In this class, we’ll discuss:
- What’s the deal with keywords? We’ll give you a few tips to improve your searches.
- What’s the difference between privacy and security?
- Who’s watching? We’ll highlight issues with tracked browsing, and show you how to search privately.
A short talk by Matt and Heather, with plenty of lab time to try your hand at the skills you’ve learned.
