Tech Tip: Typing Test

For this tech tip I took the online typing test at key hero. I have used some other typing speed assessments in the past, and this one was very similar to the other ones I have used. I like to check on my typing speed every so often just to see how I stack up with others who have taken these tests. I do not type all that fast, but my result this time had me at 60 wpm with an 85% accuracy. I will take that, but strive to improve upon it.

Tech Tip: Canvas Mobile App

Canvas App

Until this semester I had not been utilizing the canvas app. Instead I would just get onto safari on my phone, and log in to canvas through that each time I wanted to check something on my phone regarding a class. Using the app has made that process so much easier, and the app is formatted for the phone. So, I don't run into any of the issues I would while using the web browser on my phone. 

Tech Tip: Google Timer

Google Timer:

I had never used google timer before today, but I am going to try to incorporate it into my work flow.

Having that audible reminder will prevent me from accidentally spending too much time doing one thin, or not doing another task.

Squirt.io has drastically cut down the time I spend reading while still providing the comprehension necessary to be useful.
