Multitasking

Multitasking.  I am always multitasking.  Life would be too simple if I only had one thing to focus on at a time.  When it comes to multitasking while I'm on a device, you can bet there are lots of tabs involved!!  I am currently working on a project for the math department that has me accessing multiple documents at the same time.  In order to use my time wisely I am working between multiple screens, split screens.  Here is how you can maximize your screen when using your MacBook...

And, here is how you can use split screen on your iPad...

What do you do on your devices to help you multitask?

Preview

If you work on a Mac you may have used an application to open PDF documents or look at images using Preview.

You may also think this application is for previewing items.  Well, it's worth so much more!  Did you know you can add annotations to a document from your laptop?  Did you know you can add your signature to a form you would normally print, sign and scan to send back to someone?  Did you know you can combine multiple PDF documents with a quick drag and drop? Did you know you can edit an image to balance color?  Or, what about taking the background away from an object.  Preview can do all of these things and then so much more!  You can convert a PDF file to a png or jpg to use documents in different formats.  The power of Prview is only left to your imagination of things to try!  Check out these tutorials so you too can harness the power of Preview!

Let's start with a few basic features like adding text, shapes, and a signature.

Now take a look at combining multiple PDF documents.
