Shortcut of the Week: December 9th - The Three Basics of Shortcuts

This week, I wanted to share with you three basic shortcuts that are incredibly fast and efficient when working with the Chromebook. This week, I want to share "Copy," "Cut," and "Paste." All of the these shortcuts are great and staples of many power users shortcut repertoire.

To quickly copy text from one location, simply highlight the text and use "Ctrl + C." If you wish to immediately paste that text, navigate to where you would like to place it and use "Ctrl + V." Finally, if the original text that you are copying does not need to be in the document anymore, you can use "Ctrl + X" to cut it. After cutting, you can simply leave it on your clipboard or paste it to a new spot. Copying and pasting will work in almost any circumstance to allow you to quickly move text from one place to another.

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!

Chromebook Shortcut of the Week - April 10th - Harder Reset

Torubleshooting a Chromebook is fairly easy. The first thing that I try is a reset. If a reset doesn't work, I can try to a harder reset, using this week's shortcut. When you press and hold the "Refresh" key and the Power button, you Chromebook will reset harder than simply powering down. It will not lose the settings that are on it. This shortcut is a crucial second line in ensuring that our students' Chromebooks are always functioning properly.
