Microsoft Office Shortcuts

Here is the screen shot of my shortcuts: Shortcuts Practice

Some of the other shortcuts that I've used:
Print Screen: I still use this occasionally. However, now that I learned about Jing (at the Introductory session class), I LOVE Jing! I have spent way too many hours of my life pasting and croping screen shots in order to just get small things copied into step-by-step instructions for people. I am so excited to have more opportunities to use the simple "copy" option in Jing and the screencast option in Jing rather than Print Screen. So, I guess this one isn't a shortcut that I'm thinking I'll use all that often any more...oh well...

F12: I like this option. I seem to save files in different formats and with different names quite frequently. This seems like it might be a handy shortcut in the future.

Control Z: I already knew that Control+Y was Redo. So now having this reminder that Control+Z is Undo will be a nice compliment to that. I use lots of diagrams with some of my classes, and it seems that I always spend a lot of time formatting those diagrams or adding labels to them. These two shortcuts (Control+Y and Control+Z) are very handy for that kind of work.


Delicious

My Delicious link: Kara's Delicious Page

I already had a Delicious account prior to starting this course. I really like Delicious; however, I don't think that I really utilize it as much as I could. Currently, it seems like I simply add links to my account and tag them. But, I rarely go back and actually look at those links. I think that if I went back through and started organizing the links better, I might actually find that there are sites in there that I want to go to and look at again. I didn't know anything about Tag Bundles previously. I can see some potential there for grouping my own links. And also some potential for grouping a number of sites and sharing them with students rather than creating individual links for them to follow on something like Moodle for a particular assignment.
