MLLL-3043 Myth and Folklore Blog

 I didn't know you were able to change colors and rename the classes on canvas. I rearranged my classes moved them in order of what makes sense to me. I look at it everyday and I wished I changed it before because sometimes the icon colors are so similar (not to mention not my favorite color) that I will just click on the wrong one. It also took me awhile to memorize the numbers for the classes. It would've been easier to rename them to the name of the class instead of looking at the class code, 

For this week's tech tip, I added the Creative Commons extension to my Google Chrome. I've been pretty frustrated for a long time going to Google, find the image that I was looking for, download it, find the downloaded file, and then inserting it to the blog post! It's not too much of an ordeal, but it's definitely a hassle to do these steps over and over again. However, with this, it's just a whole lot easier for me to insert these images! I can simply download it from the extension and drag the image from the downloaded files here. (Photo of Roses by Lucy Cuneo )

For this challenge, I added the word count extension on my browser as well as learned more about my bookmarks section. Especially for the weekly assignments, this is incredibly useful as I would always have to go through the original homepage or look at the emails to find the link to the assignment websites. However, with the assignments, it's frustrating too as you have to change the weeks as the bookmark is only for that one specific week. However, I think for anything else, such as frequently visited websites, this is highly useful. In addition, the word-counter is also very useful for assignments as well as for papers! If only I used this before. (Word Counter. Source:  Wordcounter.net ) 

 I do a thing called time blocking. I usually write a list of things I need to get done in a studying session in the order I am gonna do it. I usually try to mix up the subjects just so I don't burn myself out on one subject. Then I estimate about how long it will take me to do each one. As I go down my list I usually et an alarm and will have it go off to that allotted time. If i don't finish that assignment or check item I come back to it at the end when I have free time to finish it. 

  (Screenshot definition of the word "noodle") My friend was hungry and suggested this word. 

 I always use Google chrome on my laptop. Sometimes if that doesn't work I will use Safari. Just in case that doesn't work it will be helpful to use Firefox because you never know. 

I used Monkeytype as my online typing test platform. I liked the aesthetic  of this website and how the words were very random. I honestly thought I was a faster typer than what I got. It told me my average was 70 words per minute. My accuracy was at 98%. I have never taken time to improve my typing. When I was in the 7th grade there was a required keyboard class, but computers wasn't anything I worked with daily until college. I type a lot more now for this class and technology is so ingrained with society I feel like I need to become a better typer.
