Although I am aware of many wonderful apps designed for students and the education field, I do not use most of them. You could call me an old-fashioned type of girl, considering I often still right-click to copy or paste something. I have found one thing in particular, on my Macbook Air, that helps me save a lot of time doing homework, writing papers, or online shopping. On the trackpad, if one moves three fingers upwards, the laptop gives you a birds-eye view of all the separate windows in each desktop. This is much easier than having to have each window minimized when you aren’t using it. This saves me a lot of time when I have to read PDF files and incorporate them into a paper, or when taking notes. It also helps me when I have to write an email to my advisor, for example, and have to reference my Degree Evaluation. All in all, I think Apple has created this shortcut that is helpful in any way you wish to use it.
