Happy Thursday!


Well, here we are again. And its Thursday. Do you know where the name Thursday comes from? You can find out here:
You can find out about all the other days there as well.

Here is a keyboard shortcut tip for the day. When you want to switch from one program to another, for example, from Microsoft Word to Firefox, sometimes it's easier to use the keyboard than it is to use the mouse. Here's the shortcut:
Alt key + Tab key
You can hold the alt key down and hit tab several times to move through several programs.

I don't think we'll start any new projects today since many of you are still working on the Google research project. If you're finished, there is always Side-By-Side.

In the future, I think Armen will be working with you on the use of some interesting features of Google maps. If you want to get a head start, you can try to make a virtual visit to the tallest building in the world, the Burj Kalifa. Go to Google, click "maps", then enter Burj Kalifa in the search box. When you get a map, keep zooming in by double clicking and eventually you will get a street view. Then you can move around and look at the building from different angles. Have fun!

And here's an interesting website with lots of stories you can read. You can also listen to the stories. And there is an exercise you can do if you click "cloze" down at the bottom of the story.

Please be sure to come on Monday to give Armen a warm welcome back!

It's been great working with you all!
