Chromebook Keyboard Shortcut of the Week - January 27th

Chromebook Keyboard

This week, I wanted our shortcut to be something that can help us be more quick in what we do. That is why, I am sharing how to access the Chrome browser menu, or the "Invisible Snowman" in the upper right hand corner. To quickly access tools like new window, new tab, incognito window, history, downloads, and settings, you can use a two-key stroke. By pushing both "Alt + E" at the same time, you will see that the menu in the upper right opens and you can use your keys to navigate!

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!

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.
