**NEW!**
Every month we are going to feature a different, and hopefully FREE, iPad/iPod/iPhone educational application. In addition to our ever-changing apps page. Stay tuned! This month's featured app is SkyView Free. Point your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to the sky and locate stars, constellations, and satellites. There is a 3D option, horizon and compass feature, and sky paths. There are other star apps out there, but this one isn't just for the iPad, which is rare. |

Tech Tip #1: CTRL+SHIFT+T Have you ever been working online with a web page(s) open, and all of a sudden your computer freezes and the browser closes? If you push CTRL + SHIFT + T the last web pages you had open will pop back up on the screen. Find other keyboard shortcuts.
Tech Tip #2: Hide YouTube Spam Do you use YouTube videos for education and lessons? Do you notice all the spam and links around the page of your video? You can remove them! Go to the top URL address bar in your browser window. Highlight the section that reads "watch?v=" in the video link. Type the following in its place: /embed/ and hit ENTER. Only your video will appear.
EXAMPLE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0icbqmehs
REPLACE WITH: www.youtube.com/embed/-0icbqvmehs
