Google searches public Web content. Your teacher says "Don't use Google," meaning that you should not use the public Web content.
Google Scholar is different. It searches the same kinds of scholarly books, articles, and documents that you search in the Library's catalog and databases. The scholarly, authoritative focus of Google Scholar distinguishes it from ordinary Google.
