Tech Tip: Google Art Project for Chrome

This is so cool! I can spend hours searching for a theme I like. My biggest issue is that I like seeing different themes every time I open a new tab and a lot of themes don't have that feature. This tip makes it easy and I learn more each time. It's pretty cool to learn about all these different paintings when all I wanted to do was open a new tab.

Tech Tip: Ninja Cat

I'm not going to lie; it took me a while to get the hang of this game. Five minutes later, I was yelling at my cat telling him he was not fit to be a ninja. It was fun! Sometimes, I would type the right letters, but it wouldn't show up on the page? I'm not sure, but definitely one of my favorite assignments!

Tech Tip: Google Reverse Image Search

This is awesome. There have been so many times where I'm trying to find differnet versions of one picture or I don't have the right citations. It's so easy to just paste the picture and so many results come up! I have my pick of which source I want to use. I don't need to know the specifics of a picture to figure out what it is or who is was taken by.

Tech Tip: Typing Test

I work as a scribe in a hospital, so this test was a little more personal for me. I ended up getting 83.61 WPM with an accuracy of 89.76% which isn't terrible! I think I may just be used to medical terms. I'll feel better if I just repeat that excuse to myself. I do like testing myself though. Hopefully, I'll continue to get better.

Tech Tip: Google Timer

I cannot study for extremely long periods of time without a break. I have to take a small break from all the learning. I had been using a timer on my phone, but I didn't know about Google Timer! I definitely like having something on my laptop that lets me see how much longer I have until I can take a Youtube break! It even makes a little beep in case I accidentally close it!

Tech Tip: Course Announcements Email List

I'm someone who constantly checks their email. I have both my gmail and my OU emails synced on my phone so it's easier than having different apps. I like getting a daily email reminding me of what I need to do or things I need to know. I'll almost always check my email, so I make sure not to miss any assignments.

Tech Tip: Browser Bookmarks

Bookmarks definitely make my life easier. There are so many websites I use on a daily basis, so it's nice to get there with just one button. Also, some websites can be hard to find multiple times if they have a long URL or hard-to-spell title, so one click is way more effective. I also like that I can name it anything, so it's more easy to understand.
