Todd's Tuesday Technology Tips #30: How Old Are You?

Hello Colleagues,

Happy Tuesday!

I can imagine some really cool uses of the website called, "How Old Am I?"
This site will tell you your age or whoever you are interested in seeing their age.  However, it's not just in years, it will also do it in days, weeks, minutes and even seconds.  The site also can count down until your next birthday and more!

1.  Go to Age Calculator

2.  Use the menus to enter your birth date (you can even put the time in if you know it.)

3.  Click the "Find Your Age" button.

4.  That's it!

How might you use this tool with students?  
If you have an idea, please leave it in the comment section so others can learn more too!

Thanks,
Todd

This tip, comes from a fellow blogger who runs a blog called Educational Technology and Mobile Learning.

This tip is called the minimalist Gmail cheat sheet.

Check it out:


Personally, I can never remember all of these.  However, if you look through the list of shortcuts, there might be one or two of them that click for you.  My suggestion:  print this out and keep it near your computer that you do most of your e-mail correspondence.  

As always, I love to hear from you.  If you find this or other tools helpful, let me know.  Have an idea for a tip that you would like to have? Let me know.  I'll be most happy to research it and prepare a Todd's Tuesday Tip for it.

Thanks and have a great week!
