Another Bot Support…

Robot supports are becoming quite popular these days. I find robotic house cleaning supports help to maintain independence due to my spine issues. Last year I started using a robotic vacuum to clean the floors in my home. Note the old fashion vacuum still needs to be used once in a while to deep clean the carpets. I’m thankful for the robotic vacuum for it helps me maintain my pain levels, and assists with providing me independence for doing daily chores.

Recently I discovered another household bot to use. I found a robot to clean both my homes outside and inside windows. Due to spine issues, my balance isn’t always perfect. The window cleaning robot allows me to clean outside windows without using a ladder. Bonus the bot may be used to clean walls and tiled areas. I love using technology due to the positive supports it may provide.

Reordering Sheets…

Today I was asked how to reorder sheets from within a Google Spreadsheet. Google Spreadsheets is one of my favorite collaboration tools. It provides the capabilities for assigning different sheets to individual students or a collaborative group. Sheets can become out of order when collaborators use one spreadsheet. No worries! It is easy to drag the sheet into an alpha or numerical order. Just click down on the sheets tab and drag to the right or left to reorder sheets.

Love when users help community question transforms into a helpful tutorial. Earlier this afternoon a Google Slides user inquired about changing bullet defaults. Changing bullet defaults can be a timesaver for both graphic designers as well as students. Sometimes it is helpful to guide others and show them how to use timesaving fun tools for designing purposes. Following is the video tutorial I ended up creating to help the Google Slides user.

We live in a diverse world where no one shoe fits all when it comes to viewing Google Calendar. One person may like their calendar set to month view. Another person may choose a week or agenda view. You can enhance a Google Calendar by opening in a day, week, month, year, schedule, or 7-day view.
