A Teacher Tech Tip

Ever need a special character like ✄, but you can't remember the key combination to create it?  Did you ever want to put in a symbol and you couldn't remember how?  Would you like to use a ☂ in your writing and not have to put it in as a picture and have to get it in the just right spot?  Or maybe put a ✎ by the spot your students need to write their answer or their name?

Here is a neat website, shared by Tammy Worcester's Tech Tip of the Week, that will allow you to do those things easily!  I just ♥ how easy it is to use.  All you do is click on the image, then go to your page and paste it.  It is so simple.

Instructions:

1. 1.Go to: http://www.copypastecharacter.com/
   
   
2. 2.Click the desired character.
   (This will automatically copy it to your computer’s clipboard.)
   Note - Do not right-click or control-click. Just a regular mouse-click will copy it.
   
   
3. 3.Go to wherever you want to paste the character.
   This could be a Word document, a Google doc, an email message, a blog post, or even a Tweet. You can paste the character anywhere.  
   
   
4. 4.Paste.  Holding down the control key and typing the letter V will paste the last thing you copied to your clipboard into your document or PowerPoint and is fast.
   
   
5. 5.That’s it!
