We will review helpful websites and search techniques on some of the most popular social media platforms, showing you how to increase your efficiency while online. From enhanced Google searches to artificial intelligence, this class will keep the information rolling. Did I forget to mention mobile phones and apps? Yup, we have you covered there too.
