Google prioritizes searching commercial sites, which is almost never helpful for academic research. Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com), in contrast, searches scholarly literature available on the Internet. It can be useful, especially when you are just beginning to explore a topic. Below are some tips for searching Google Scholar and accessing full-text articles on Google Scholar.
Google Classroom (https://classroom.google.com) is a tool your professors might use to share and collaborate using Google Apps like Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms etc. You will access it using your Centre email and password or via CentreNet.
Don't forget the Google Toolbar. There you can find videos, images, maps and access to world-wide local news.These can all be valuable primary and secondary sources, depending on your research project needs.
You can use Google translate (http://translate.google.com) when you find a source that looks great, according to its description or abstract, but that's written in a language you don't read. Just copy/paste the text into Google translate and it will detect the original language and translate it to the language you choose. Machine translation is never perfect, but it will be sufficient for you to avoid missing out on valuable information just because it's written in another language.
Google Arts and Culture (https://artsandculture.google.com/) allows you to explore artwork, museums and places of cultural heritage online. It is a great source of cultural images.
