Hook me up! How do I automate more of my life?

So I have this blog and a classroom Facebook page, how do I get my blog posts to automatically show up on Facebook?

It is wicked simple if you use one simple site, dlvr.it.

Getting Started
Make sure your Facebook page is using your Lindbergh email and a Facebook place page. You will know it is a place page if people can like it, not friend you. These are district requirements to using Facebook for your classroom.

Complete the following three steps:

Log into your Facebook page.
Log into Blogger.
Create an account with dlvr.it.

Connecting through dlvr.it

First step is to copy the address of your blog. Make sure you copy the correct address.

Examples:

lindberghlinc.blogspot.com - address of our blog

lindberghlinc.blogspot.com/name-of-some-post - this only links to a post, not the full blog

Log into dlvr.it

1. Click Automated or Feeds at the top.

2. Paste blog address.

3. You should see your blog pop here after a minute or so.

4. Click the plus symbol that appears.

5. Click Next: Connect Socials.

I'm already logged into Facebook so my page already appeared.

I just need to click Start Posting.

Nothing will post on Facebook until you create a new post on your blog.

Click the Windows key on your keyboard or click the icon in the lower left of your screen. 2. Just start typing AirServer. 3. Click AirServer. Don't see it? Contact technology or your building tech person. Step 2 Connect your teacher iPad to your laptop. 1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Start by swiping in the bezel, the black plastic part surrounding the screen. 2. Click AirPlay Mirroring. 3. Click your name. Step 3 Open the camera app and instant portable ELMO! Anything you see in the camera's len will be broadcast to the big screen. I just used this method to take a picture of my notebook as a demonstration of how co

Who is emailing me? The Blue Man Group??? (Add an image to your Google account.)

WHY It is always nice to put a face with a name. Sometimes we need a tiny little reminder of what someone looks like because we don't see them very often. Follow these steps to add/change the image associated with your Google account. HOW Open your email. Click your image. It might just be a blue circle if you have not added something already. Click Change . Find an image you like. Your amazing new image will appear. From now on everyone can put a name to a face!

Annotate PDF? How might I do that?

So I have a PDF and I need to edit it. Here is one method that works pretty well for me. Open Word. Click File . 1. Click Open . 2. Click Browse . 3. Find the PDF you want to annotate. 4. Click Open . Click OK when you see this box. Bam! Your PDF now opens in Word. Note: you maybe have to click Enable Editing at the top of the screen. Finished editing and want to turn it back into a PDF? Click File . 1. Click Save As . 2. Click This PC . 3. Pick a location. I usually save things to my desktop. 4. Click Save as type - and choose PDF. 5. Click Save .
