Chromebook Keyboard
This week's Chromebook Keyboard Shortcut of the Week is focused on helping you be more productive, especially with multiple tabs open at once. By using the "Ctrl" key and a number, you can quickly jump to the open tab that corresponds with that number! For instance, if you need to be in tab 3, you can quickly push "Ctrl + 3" to take you to it.

Overall, this helps to jump through keys, especially if you are looking at multiple sources of information at the same time. I like to use this to help me jump between tabs without having to move my mouse of find my mouse on my screen!

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!

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.
