I picked this quote because I feel like it is a powerful statement about living up to potential and the "correct" path we all want to take. I fear missing out on opportunities that I'll never get again, and fear that the decisions I make today may be ones I regret later in life.

Tech Tip: Blog Profile

For this Tech Tip, I uploaded my profile picture and some location information to my Blogger profile. I used one of my Facebook profile pictures and just added that I live in Norman, OK! I haven't thought a whole lot about my "online identity," but I suppose that'll be something I that think about as I get closer to graduation and looking to apply for grad schools/jobs.

I think there's a way to construct an online identity to convey what you want to convey on your own social media and maintaining a sense of decorum. You can make your profile personal enough without making it something that a job would not be opposed to.

Tech Tip: Canvas Profile

For this Tech Tip, I updated my Canvas profile! I never got around to doing anything of the sort for D2L and now that that's becoming obsolete, I figured I'd better do it for Canvas.

I updated my Canvas picture with a headshot that I had taken last year. I figured that a headshot would be a good picture because it's a nice one of me and I couldn't think of anything more creative.

I also updated my bio on Canvas with my majors and classification. I couldn't really think of anything that would be more appropriate. This bio is short, sweet, AND informational!

I also don't really prefer a nickname over my given name. I go by either Kim or Kimberley; I don't really care which.

Tech Tip: Link Check, 1-2, 1-2

Google Sites is turning out to be a really neat interface to set up my Storybook. Adding a new page this week was actually a semi-exciting experience!

All of my links worked great when I tried them; no problems there. I'll definitely be interested in discovering some different design/layout templates. Looking at some of the older Storybooks has inspired me to really get creative!

Tech Tip: Google Site Website

I used Google sites for the first time to set up my Storybook site, and I'm excited to work with it to make it (hopefully) very creative!

This site seems to have a lot of space for users to completely customize, so I'm sure I'll get more into that in the coming weeks.

Google Timer Tech Tip

I did not know about this gadget at all!

This very well might become something I use every time I have long study sessions. My high school physics teacher taught me that when working with computers or screens, you should break your work sessions into 45 minutes and give yourself a break until the top of the hour. This rests your eyes and keeps your attention sharp.

Having this in the browser will alert me when it's time to take a break. One of my biggest faults while studying is looking at my phone, or using my phone for something like a calculator and then being distracted by something else on it. SO, this saves me from using my phone for a timer and makes sure that I take my breaks. :)
