TGIT 5 - (Keyboard) Shortcuts to Success

Hey teachers..

Thank God it's Thursday. You must be busy marking like me. (Or taking a short break from marking, like me too.) Well, this week I'll make it really short because we're all busy (reading this may take time too.. heh).

Keyboard shortcuts really make your computer usage more efficient. How? By cutting the time you need to move the mouse to click on buttons and highlighting stuff. Try it.. you'll find out for yourself.

I'll introduce 4 commonly used shortcuts that you can use pretty much in any software programme nowadays.

Ctrl-Z : Undo last action (very helpful if you had accidentally deleted something.. allows your heart to continue beating normally.)

Ctrl-X : Cut (to remember this shortcut, think of the letter X as a pair of opened scissors)

Ctrl-C : Copy (C stands for Copy)

Ctrl-V : Paste (Vaste?)

Enjoy the shortcuts (if you haven't known them already..)
