Chromebook Keyboard Shortcut of the Week - February 10th - History!

Chromebook Keyboard
This week's Chromebook keyboard shortcut is one that is helpful in multiple ways. For starters, you can quickly view your browsing history by using "Ctrl + H" on your keyboard. This will bring up the history of the sites that you have visited on your Chromebook.

This is helpful if you remember coming across a resource but are struggling to find it again. You can browse your history and seek out the specific date that you visited the site.

The other way that this week's shortcut is helpful is in our classrooms. We can quickly use the same shortcut to bring up our students' browsing history as well. This is one way to hold them accountable for the work that they are expected to do.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

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!

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.
