Customize Your Cursor

 

Would you like to customize your cursor?  Well with teaching your class virtually when you are sharing your screen with student it might make sense to make your cursor larger and maybe another colour.  To do this just go down to the search box in the bottom left hand corner of screen on the task bar where it says "Type here to search" and type "mouse".  

Click on "Mouse Settings".   

 In the top right you will see "Adjust mouse & cursor size".  Click on that. 

 Now move the slider to change the size of the cursor and you can select the colour by clicking on the box with the colour wheel.  Maybe pick an nice neon colour for your students to see.

Color Our Collection

 

Sorry for the US spelling of "colour" in the title but that is what the site is called.  If you would like some historical  art that is printed out in black and white so you can use as a colouring book, well here you go.  Below is an example  from  one of  Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec.  There are many themes that could be used from this site from botany, biology, history, and medicine to name a few.  To see the website click here.
