Week 15: Tech Tips: Canvas Notifications

I did not realize Canvas Notifications were a thing that you could change. Some of the notifications I get through Canvas I get on email at the same time. Most of the time it is annoying but it can be convenient. Getting them through texts is something that would be way easier for me because those types of notifications really clog up my email. It was pretty cool! I did not realize Canvas could do all that just for notifications.

Week 14: Tech Tips: Canvas Profile

This week I updated my Canvas profile. It was really easy. I had done the picture before but now I have gone through with adding my bio, major, links, and anything else I found important for the cause. More people look at your profile than it seems so it is always good to be professional.

My headshot was the obvious choice for a picture since it is the most professional one that I have. I also added a link to my professional website with writing and photography samples with my resume.

Week 13: Tech Tips- dashboard

For Tech Tips this week I was able to add a To-Do list on my Canvas. I think that is going to start being really helpful for me to be there and not just the calendar. I like that when things are turned in online that it automatically goes away.

Most of my professors use a picture but I like to do color overlays anyway to help me decipher what is going on in the calendar. I think that is a really convenient tool.

Another convenient tool is being able to rename your class name. Changing it from numbers to an actual title makes things a lot clearer and less confusing when you are in a hurry!

Week 12 Tech Tips: The Canvas Mobile App

Here I am to report on my experience on the Canvas MObile App.

It has saved my life. I wake up in the morning and check Canvas and quite a few times have caught myself rushing up to finish some last minute homework. The calendar on the app has recently been very helpful for me since all your homework goes on to the calendar by myself. I really like that feature! Especially when due dates are always changing - it has been really fun for me.

The app has been so useful, I cannot believe there are people who don't use it. They do not know what they are missing out on!

Tech Tips: Canvas Calendar

I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I only had one class on D2L so I have really been using Canvas for about two years now. I can count on one hand the number of times I have opened that calendar because I have always preferred my actual planner.

My time management isn't always the best but I really liked the idea of the calendar and how it can cross things off for you. I think from now on I am going to be relying on it more. I think I am willing to learn how to use google calendar and I am looking into it more. The more organization the better!
