Tech Tip: Canvas Mobile App

I have had the Canvas app on my iPhone for a long time. It was easy to install an there weren't any problems with it in that. I mostly use it to look at my grades and to look at any announcements made my teachers. I also use it to look up due dates, and any new assignments that teachers put up.

Tech Tip: Canvas Notifications

I like how the notifications on Canvas are set up so you whether you want to be notified right away, receive a weekly summary, receive a monthly summary, or receive nothing at all.This way you can choose any of the options for all the notification types this helps me avoid getting annoying messages every five seconds. I also like the option where you can get emails, and if you have the app you also get notified on your phone. I have set up my notifications on canvas so that I can be alerted when an assignment has been added to canvas, when there is an announcement, when an assignment has been graded, and when a new file has been added.

So I decided to explore my options and customize my blog. I decided to get rid of the picture at the top so my blog could just put the focus on whatever post I did that day.

Wikipedia Trail: From Selena to BTS

I started off with Selena because when I was on google earlier I saw she was the google doodle today and I also saw it on the class twitter stream. Although I don't listen to tejano music and don't know any of her songs I thought I should still do this trail starting with her. Mostly because I think she's an inspiration for anyone who wants to be a musician in a genre of music isn't as popular in mainstream US music. She was one of the most influential Latin artists of all time, and I think that's because of the achievements in music that she reached. Selena's article sent me to the article for the Billboard music awards. I wanted to go this one because because the album it was referring to allowed her to tour in the US, and I was curious to see if she won the awards it was mentioning. The Billboard music awards led me to the 2017 Billboard music awards page. And if i'm being completely honest its because at this point I realized where I could, and wante
