Tech Tip: Announcements Email

Personally, I find the announcements extremely useful. If it weren't for those, I feel like sometimes I might accidentally end up forgetting to do assignments. I usually skim through them immediately after logging into Canvas before I begin the assignments. Thank you for including those for your students!

Tech Tip: Browser Bookmarks

I think saving web pages as bookmarks is incredibly useful and resourceful. Instead of having to type in a web address, I believe it's much more efficient to be able to reach a specific page with the click of a button. I personally use both Chrome and Safari as my browser and have been using the bookmark shortcut for as long as I can remember. It's such an easy tool to use! All of my bookmarks are on a toolbar at the top of the page in a line. I don't use bookmark folders right now, but I think it's a good way to organize bookmarks if you have a whole bunch of them and it feels cluttered. It's definitely something I will consider in the future if I begin to feel unorganized.

Tech Tip: Typing Test

For this tech tip, I used KeyHero.com to test my typing speed and accuracy. I liked this website in particular because it gave me fun and interesting sentences and paragraphs to type out. My results were 58 WPM with 96% accuracy! I did the test a couple more times and got similar results. I think my typing speed is decent, but there's always room for improvement. In this day and age with the increased use of technology, it won't hurt to be incredibly proficient at typing. I remember back in high school in my computer class, my teacher gave us typing lessons but that's the only time I've actually sat down and worked on improving my typing skills. I agree that good typing helps with school and even work.

Tech Tip: Blog Profile

Hey everyone! This week I decided to see if I wanted to keep my name and profile visible to anyone who comes to visit my blog. Ultimately I decided to keep that information visible because it is something I worked hard for and enjoyed doing. It's also basic information, basically stuff anyone could find these days. I want people to be able to put a name to the stories they read.
I don't really give my online identity too much thought. I just try to be me and not share too much information. I will definitely be more wary of what I post and what I write when it comes time to apply to dental school, but it won't be much of a change.

Tech Tip: Weather Widget

Weather Widget

I wanted to add this weather widget because I feel like mostly everyone checks the weather at least once a day. As a blogger, I feel like this is a must for your readers and yourself! It's a handy little tool to always be aware of weather condition in Oklahoma, which sometimes can be drastic. If you're a traveler, then this is a must! Hope this inspires you all to add a weather widget in your own blogs. A link on instructions is located above. Happy blogging!
