Ok guys this post is aimed more at my tech class teachers but maybe the rest of you can pick up a thing or two.
I was having a major hard time in finding articles on technology using google scholar until I found a nifty google trick. I noticed that most of the good articles (ones I could access)were pdf documents so I limited my searches in google to JUST pdf documents by this trick
filetypes:pdf "then whatever I wanted to search"
The phrase "filetype:" is the important part and there is no space between the colon on the type of file you are looking for. If I wanted power points, great for teachers looking for presentations I would type-
filetype:ppt "then the topic"
You don't have to put the other stuff in quotes, it will just give you an exact match.
Good luck and happy hunting:)
