Thing #1 Shortcuts

It was so serendipitous that Ron mentioned the F5 key last Tuesday, because just a couple days before one of my kids told me "Just hit F5" when we were showing kids' introductions. They had a choice of a glog, comix, xtranormal, or blabber and one of the glogs was hung up waiting to load (we had gone through quite a few that day!). I really like it when kids show me something--it makes me more "human", I think and levels the playing field. I like to at least try some of the sites I suggest to them, but I don't by any means worrying about mastery. I usually find out who did something cool and make them the expert--and then they're the 'go-to' guy for the rest of the kids (and me!). I digress--but I thought it was a coincidence.

I knew a few of the shortcuts, but I ALWAYS forget about Ctrl F for some reason, and I am geeked to know that I can right click for spelling in Word, too, just like Google docs! So here's my screen shot--and I did the Hot Key with no problems whatsoever. Yeah!

  1. I'm glad you have found some shortcuts that will help you and your students - especially the CTRL+F one that most people don't know about.

    Very nice screenshots by the way... liking that Jing! are you? :)
