Tech Tip: Mac Productivity Apps

Lately, I have been experimenting with my computer and downloading apps I think might be helpful throughout my college career. I found a few apps that are very helpful and HIGHLY recommend:

1. Dr. Cleaner: saves space on your computer by deleting junk files and optimizing space at your convenience. I was always having trouble with storage space on my computer and this app was a LIFESAVER!! It is located on the toolbar, and it tells you how much space you are using and allows you to clean it immediately without deleting anything important.

2. Magnet: lets you multitask on your computer by creating different sized windows. It snaps the windows into place and lets you share the screen with at most 3 other windows.

3. myHomework: great way to stay organized on your computer! It is basically an agenda and has color coding and different categories so this is definitely a must-have for the organizing freaks like me!

Week 15 Class Improvements

I first want to say that Ms. Gibbs did a very good job at constantly keeping us informed and up to date on every assignment. Also, the feedback she gave was very personal to me every single week and I could always tell that she really enjoys her job!
I think that my only suggestion would be to include the story planning starting at the beginning of the semester. Also, this could expand our portfolios to include more stories because if the students have Wednesday-Sunday to plan and write their story, they can then include it in their portfolio! I know that as a Journalism student, I chose this class to expand my knowledge of mythology and writing in general and I plan to use some of my stories that I wrote this semester in my portfolio for the real world! It is good to show creativity in your portfolios and to show that you can write in many different types of styles. By putting more stories in the portfolio, this could definitely help students after college if they are looking to get published!
