Week 9 Tech Tips Word Counter Tool

Okay, so this one is a little embarrassing. I downloaded the word counter tool at the beginning of the semester but I never figured out how to use it lmao. After reading the instructions posted on the tech tip assignment I finally got it to work. This is going to save me a lot of clicking in the future because I would have to copy and then paste it in another browser with a word counting website open. While this wasn't necessarily a super big hassle it'll now be less of an annoyance. I'm excited to use it! I know this will come in handy because I'm typically the type of person who writes to little so I'll check my word count frequently to make sure I'm meeting the minimum. In the stories, I'm not so bad at this, obviously from my storybook, but in the comments, I am so this is where this tool will come in handy the most. 

Tech Tip: Favicon

I used two different favicon generators that I found. I just chose the first two that appeared on google, I downloaded both files and used several of the images in each but none of them managed to change my favicon. I even tried using the one that ended in file type .ico several times but nothing seems to work? pls help

I chose this one because it is one of the few pictures I have saved on my laptop and also because I think he looks like a badass lol.

Tech Tips: Canvas Mobile App

I have been using the Canvas app for over three years now. It has been so useful! Having the technology we have today makes it so easy to get work done from your phone. One time I was on my way to a Post Malone concert but I had an assignment due that night. While we were waiting in line, which seemed like forever, I was able to finish the assignment on the Microsoft Word app on my phone and then submit it through the Canvas app. I also regularly use it to submit assignments through my Ipad. There was one incident I had with the app, I was taking a quiz for my biochem class on my phone and all of a sudden canvas crashed. It basically ended my quiz and submitted it before I could finish all the problems. I email canvas support to try to get it figured out but they were absolutely no help. My professor told me to email canvas to see if they could find a way to let me finish the quiz, but when I explained the situation to canvas support they told me to try to take it again. The quiz only ...
