Connecting Ideas

Connecting ideas allows you to see how the main connect, allowing you to see the whole picture. Take a puzzle for instance, it is pretty hard telling what the picture is from one individual puzzle piece. By putting the puzzle pieces together, you are able to see how the pieces connect, giving you the whole picture.

A useful way to see the whole picture is by using a Mind Map. 
A Mind Map allows you to:
  • Connect ideas
  • Provides a visual overview
  • Use keywords and phrases to jog your memory


Luckily for you, there are options on how you can do it. You can use a traditional pen and paper to do your Mind Maps or you can use Coggle.


Now, Coggle requires you to sign in with a Google account, and it allows you to create a Mind Map. It also allows you to add website links, images and icons. You are able to share and download it as a PDF or PNG image.

I used Coggle to summarise my lecture on Computer parts. Coggle allowed me to summarise the lecture, breaking it down into visual parts and sections/paths to follow to find out more.

(This isn’t the only use of Coggle, as it can also be used to brainstorm as you can invite other Google users to this!)


Why not give it a go!

Google Chrome Tricks

Hey guys, Today I wanted finish up on Google Chrome with some individual tricks that can be very useful. These aren’t really related to one specific topic, but are great tricks to remember. The first trick is using alt+left arrow and alt+right arrow to go backwards and forwards a page respectively. This is extremely useful as it allows you to quickly navigate through pages and maximise your time, especially for research tasks where this is vital. The second trick is the use of ctrl+k or ctrl+e , which allows for you to perform a Google search from any webpage. This is great as you can quickly access new information if you are unsure of something whilst researching, shopping online, or just casually browsing the internet. Using ctrl+k will achieve a similar result by selecting all of what is in the URL bar. The final trick is related to the second one, in that it allows you to quickly search for websites. The use of ctrl+enter will automatically finish the web address for y...

Makeup tips and tricks

Hey life hacks squad! So last week I covered the basics of how to get ready in a rush and what to focus on so this week I thought i'd cover little tips and tricks to improve your makeup game so everyone in the room will be envious! First make sure you start with a moisturised face and apply primer! Depending on the primer you get, it can drastically help minimise pores or the look of redness on skin which can make a huge difference in application. Another big tip is invest in good brushes! If your brush or sponge can barely apply paint evenly, what makes anyone thing it would even do a decent job applying it on a face. I personally recommend the beauty blender which you can buy online or from a Sephora store as well as brushes from Morphe, Sigma, Bare Minerals, Nude by Nature, Real Techniques, or even Artis brushes. All of those recommendations I have provided range in prices so if you don't want to bust the bank there's still some for you! Next, colour correct! If ...

Google Chrome Made Easy!

Hey guys Today I wanted to share with you some of the ins and outs of Google Chrome, the most popular web browser. These tricks will massively increase the speed at which you perform tasks on the internet,  primarily through easy to remember shortcuts. First off, regarding the usage of windows and tabs, most people will know that ctrl+t will open a new tab, ctrl+n will open a new window, and ctrl+w will close the current page, but most people won't know that they can close an entire window through ctrl+shift+w . Also, if you accidentally close a tab that you didn't mean to you can use ctrl+shift+t to open the last page you closed, and can be used up to 10 times! Picture from:http://www.freecomputermaintenance.com/windows-tips-2/common-windows-7-keyboard-shortcuts/ This next trick is extremely useful when browsing the internet for tasks such as research or shopping, where you generally want to look at multiple sources or products. By using ctrl+left cl...
