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.

Chromebook Shortcut of the Week - The Task Manager

Did you know that you can easily access your task manager on the Chromebook? If you Chromebook is running slow, underperforming, or something similar, you can investigate the reason why this is the case using the Chromebook Task Manager. To get there via shortcut, you have to press "Shift + Esc" at the same time on your Chromebook keyboard. This will show you what is running and how many resources that it is using on your Chromebook. It is an easy way to make sure that you are maximizing your Chromebook's battery and use.
