Technology Tools and Using Them

So after I finished typing this all up and tried to publish, the webpage reloaded and it didn't save anything from what I previously wrote.... So lets try this again!

As much as I like to use pencil, pen, and paper when doing stuff for class (anyone else follow those hashtags for hella organized notes?), there is something nice about just having everything on one page of my web browser, even if there are a bunch of tabs open. That's one of the nice things about an online class and the tools that may be used for it. And of course, it's especially satisfying to close a bunch of tabs after you're done with a project.

Of course I am already familiar with Blogger, thanks to last semester, and to Google Docs thanks to previous years of use. I think I need to start using Google Docs for things like writing down ideas and keeping stuff organized, rather than relying solely on Word on my computer. (I’m already using Blogger, I might as well give in and use other things Google has created).

It is also nice that Canvas is minimally involved. In the past I’ve found it a bit clunky to use, and occasionally annoying. Other than that, I’m neutral towards it. 

In an ironic twist, I’ve used Google Docs to try and retype this up. This may be what I have to do in the future….
