typing test tech tip

For my typing test, I just used  keyhero.com.  I liked this test because the text offered wasn't too difficult with a lot of types of punctuations and such.  From my results, I am a little under average in words per minute (about 10) and my accuracy was a little higher than the average. I would like to work on my speed of typing; I never learned to type without looking! That is something I would like to work on. I have never thought to practice my typing because I figured it got the job done. After taking the test, I think I will put more time into practicing my typing and improving both my speed and accuracy to help me in my future career and my schooling.

tech tip: canvas profile

For my updated Canvas profile, I added my pronouns (she/her) because I think it is important to display your pronouns so others feel comfortable sharing theirs as well! For my avatar, I am using a photo of my cat because I don't really see a need to have a personal photo on Canvas as I use my real name and am identifiable by that. Also, my cat is cute.

tech tip: Creative Commons image search

In my educational technology class I'm currently in, we have talked briefly about Creative Commons. Although I know of it, I had never used a search like this that was specifically Creative Commons. I chose to look for siamese cats because I love them, and I found this adorable lil guy/gal. I absolutely love those big ears! As a future teacher, Creative Commons is something I would like (and need) to learn more about as it will become an integral part of my classroom. It is so important to give credit where it's due.
