Tech Tip- Google Timer

For my last tech tip I thought I would check out the Google timer.  I never realized that google actually had a timer until I saw checked out this tech tip.  This Google Timer would be useful in many ways. I could have used it for my learning challenge with the Comodoro Resource Learning Challenge, or to time project presentations for class.

Tech Tip: Pintrest Widget

This week I learned how to add a Pinterest widget. This widget allows people to follow my board "Happiness." I love Pinterest and I ry to stay very organized with my boards. I can remember when Pinterest come out while I was in high school. It is fun for me to see what U posted back then and to compare it to what I pin now. I always love to see how I have changed over the years. So if you like photos of things that just give you smile follow my board "Happiness" on Pinterest!!

Tech Tip: Weather Widget

This week is my first week to do a tech tip.  Personally I hate technology so these tech tips could be pretty fun to learn how to do more things over technology.  This week I added the weather widget.  At first it was complicated to figure out how to get the weather of Norman, Ok on there, but eventually I got it all worked out.

Introduction: Paris Texas or France?

Howdy Y'all, I'm Sarah Trapp!
-I say "howdy" and "y'all" because I'm a proud Texan, I'm from a small town named Paris, Tx, I love to tell people I'm from Paris without saying Texas, because without a doubt every time someone will think Paris, France, and that makes me giggle inside because if you listen to my accent I'm clearly from Texas. If you ever find yourself driving though Paris, you have to make sure you stop and take a photo with our one-of-a-kind Eiffel Tower, it is pretty awesome because it has a huge bright red cowboy hat at the top of it!

-Even though I'm from Texas, I have been a sooner fan my whole life (BOOMER) even as a second grader I named my dog Okie.  I actually have two dogs, one Okie and the other Tex, you see my household at the time was split, my mom and I were Oklahoma fan and my brother and father were Texas fans, so we couldn't just settle with one dog.  Like I said I got my dogs when I was in the second grade and they are still alive today! They are the oldest golden retrievers I have ever seen at almost 15 years old, and they are my heart and soul.

Golden, but we still love him anyway!

-Okie is more of my dog, as Tex is more of my brothers dog.

-I am living my dream attending the University of Oklahoma, and I will be graduating this May with a degree in Sociology. (WHOO!) I recently just switched from early childhood education to sociology, and as much as I love the education system I love sociology more! I find myself to be an observant person, and sociology is an area of study that relates to everyday life.  I love the fact that whatever daily activities I have, whether it be the going to the movies or school, I can relate sociological concepts that I have learned.  After I graduate I will be working towards getting into a masters program for social work.  Durning grad school I hope to learn how to help and approach children and families in difficult times.  I plan on receiving my LPC (Licensed Professional Councilor) so that I can make a difference in someones life by helping them.

-Some fun facts about myself:
1. I love to watch movies, any kind of movie really it doesn't matter, because there's nothing better than cuddling up in blankets with a big bowl of popcorn!
2. I also love to travel, I have been privileged to have traveled to some pretty cool places in my life, but the coolest place I will travel to, will be this summer when I spend a month in Ireland for study abroad! 3. I love to take photos and edit them! It is probably my favorite hobby to do, and in my future I might even start some sort of small side business for it. I even have a name for it already "Trapped in the Moment", get it because my last name is Trapp. (perfect, right?)
4. My favorite food is most definitely spaghetti, I would even eat it on a first date! My least favorite food is anything that has cream cheese in it, I know, it's unbelievable and crazy, but there is just something about cream cheese and my taste buds that don't get along.
5. I'll end today with my favorite color, which is yellow! If it can be made/bought in yellow that's the one I want! I could easily be spotted walking around campus since my backpack, computer, phone case, and headphones are all yellow! It's just such a bright and fun color, I love it!
