CT Chromebooks #5 - Removing Apps from your Chromebook

In Chromebooks #4 - Installing Apps, I showed you how to install apps on your Chromebook and your Chrome browser. This is an incredibly easy task if you find that you no longer need the apps that you have installed.
On your Chromebook:


To remove apps from your Chromebook, use the App Launcher and get to all apps. Locate the app that you wish to remove, use a two-finger click or a “ctrl - click” on the app, and select remove from options.


In your Chrome Browser:
In your Chrome browser, locate the “Apps” on the bookmark bar. If you need assistance finding the bookmark bar, check this out.



After, navigate to locate the Chrome App that you want to uninstall. Use a right-click or “ctrl-click” on the icon of the app you no longer want, and select “Remove from Chrome” from the options.



Important Note:
This will not remove apps that are installed in the Windows operating system or remove access to the website associated with the apps in Chrome.

Chromebook Shortcut of the Week - 10/14/2016

This weeks shortcut of the week is to help you project your Chromebook. Due to resolutions, your Chromebook will likely default to the “Extended Screen” mode. If they happens, you will see your desktop background on the screen upon plugging in your Chromebook (your Chromebook needs an HDMI connection, if you need a cable, I can get you one!). In order to change this, you will use the “Ctrl + Full Screen” button. This will quickly switch between the two modes, allowing you to switch back and forth. A quick word to the wise, the extended screen is usually to the right!

App Highlight - Grasshopper

Grasshopper is a relatively new app from Google's Area 120. It is available on both the Android and iOS operating systems. In this app, you complete challenges through writing bits of JavaScript.  I like to compare it to Duolingo, the popular language learning app. It is free and allows you to work on the puzzles at your own pace. This is a step up from the Blockly coding that has been popularized by Hour of Code and Code.org. The best part is, you get nearly instant feedback and multiple tries to master the material. While this will not get you a Silicon Valley coding job by itself, it will definitely start you down a path that allows you to start growing your coding skills.  It is really worth checking out.
