Today I Learned: Professionalism

Post #2: Today I Learned

9 September, 2015

 Bubbl.us:
I immensely enjoyed exploring bubbl.us today. I learned how to operate the entire system, and how to save my Bubbl. I learned how to change text and background color, and how to change the text bubble size. I also discovered how to embed my Bubbl in my blog. I think I will use bubbl.us in English projects, such as a graphic organizer for a paper. It would also be helpful in organizing ideas for anything in life. For example, creating a daily planner/schedule of your week. You could start with the week dates in the middle (the very biggest). Then, each bubble could represent a day, with smaller bubbles of what’s going on that day off of the 2^nd bubble layer. Being organized is essential in the medical field.

Technology:
Today I learned a lot of keyboard shortcuts and tips. My favorite is Ctrl + F (find). You type in any word into a special text box and then it will highlight the word anywhere it shows up in the article. It’ll be very handy for lots of school projects and assignments. I also learned Ctrl + C/V. It is copy and paste. I also discovered how to embed and share links and other things in my blog. That will be beneficial later in my blog. Being technologically sound is essential to success in the modern medical field.

Research:
Today I learned a lot about researching skills. I learned that websites that end in .org, .edu, or .gov are best, compared to .com. I discovered that .edu stands for education. Government is represented by .gov. Organization websites end in .org. Of course, .com is for commercial use. When you find research material you can copy and paste the stuff you want into a word document and then copy and paste the URL with it. This will make it easy to find again for any future references. Always save it in one document. Organized research is essential to success in the medical field.

 Consistency, respect, and confidence are essential aspects of true professionalism.
