Digital Skill of the Week: Using Search Bars

Search bars are one of the easiest ways to find information online.

You can use a search bar to quickly look up:
✔️ A recipe you want to try
✔️ A job posting or application tips
✔️ A how-to video for learning a new skill
✔️ Directions, services, or local information

To try it:
1️⃣ Open your internet browser
2️⃣ Click in the search bar
3️⃣ Type a few key words or a question
4️⃣ Press Enter and explore the results

Learning how to search effectively helps you find answers, solve problems, and build confidence using technology.

Even small digital skills can make everyday tasks easier!
