Thing #1 - Keyboard Shortcuts and Delicious

The Jing capture of my word document is above.  I used shortcuts to right-align, center-align, underline, italicize, 1.5 line spacing and single-line spacing. It's interesting that the italicize shortcut worked here!

When doing a lot of Word document processing, the shortcuts save time and energy because your hands never leave the keyboard. A second benefit would be that you would see the formatted docment as you type, rather than formatting the document after you are done typing - which is my usual way of getting things done.

Finally - while I probably do not do enough Word documents to get good at a lot of shortcuts, I have used the "Windows E" shortcut three times since it was mentioned!

Delicious (used keyboard shortcut!)

My Delicious address is: http://www.delicious.com/robertjkoch

I found that my searches gave me sites that are relavent to my subject area - versus having to wade through a standard Google-type search where you have to look at a lot of different sites to find useful material.

Also, organizing my educational sites in one place will make it easier to find the sites I need and easier to share them with my fellow teachers.
