Thing 1 - Word Shortcuts

This was a notesheet for my algebra class that I played around with for this assignment.

I tried most all of the shortcuts in this lesson, though many will not show-up since they are an action.  I found the Ctrl - A, and triple clicking on a word very helpful in saving time.  I will not have to try and hold down and scroll on my laptop anymore!

I was able to teach my son the Shift - F3 shortcut and he was quite impressed.  We both have typed articles with the Caps Lock on by accident and that would have been great to undo the typing.  Instead, we both had to retype the work we had done.

The third shortcut I found very useful is the Windows key - M.  I love it!  Along with the B and W to blackout the screen during a powwerpoint.  I have yet to be able to use powerpoint in my classroom, but after Christmas, I have been told that I will have a dataprojector in my room... I love being able to pose a thought and then blanking the screen to give the kids time to think about it!
