Tech Tip: Canvas Notifications

I have had canvas set up to email me anytime a grade gets updated for a while now. I find this to be very helpful for times that I am concerned about what grade I got. This is an easy way to get notifications and it keeps me from endlessly checking canvas for grades to be posted. I highly suggest this for this time of year when it seems that everyone has at least one class they are worried about getting a high enough grade in.

Tech Tip: Canvas Mobile App

I heard of the Canvas mobile app while doing extra commenting on some people's posts and decide I would blog about it in hopes more people will discover it. The app is extremely user friendly and it makes it so much easier to check your grades on your phone. This app takes away the hassle of going to your browser and logging in every time you want to do anything on Canvas. I am currently using an iPhone 6 for this app and I have not experienced any problems with the download or usage.

Tech Tip: Google Timer

I had no idea that google has a built in timer. Just by typing in: "set timer for." I think this would be helpful when doing readings to keep myself focused. This would also be great for study breaks where I often find myself online shopping for way too long. This could also be used to set a amount of time you will study before taking a break. I like taking a break about once an hour just so I can stand up and get my body moving for a minute.
