You will find 22 basic tips, several of which were new to me. I love what you can do with the "Magic Pen." (Timer, focus, or magnifier) Also new to me was the "Pin" button for use with split screens. (No, it has nothing to do with Pinterest).

Cool Google Stuff

Here is some things that you can do with Google.

#1.  Type in "Tip Calculator" into the search bar.

 #2. Search by Image.Go to "images.google.com. This is not searching FOR an image, it is searching BY an image. You download or link to an image and it searches the web for (other) sites that have that image.

#3. Converter. For the example below I typed "miles to kilometers" and clicked on that line.

#4.  Google Sky (google.com/sky/) is just plain cool. You can zoom in and out just like with Google Earth.

#5.  Type in "Mortgage Calculator" into the search bar.

#6.  Google Fonts (https://www.google.com/fonts)

#7.  Google Keep (https://keep.google.com/)

 #8.  Flight Status. (Just type in the flight number in the search bar.)
