Who Knew?!--Pin Extensions

Am I losing my mind or did I actually install that Chrome extension? Why don't I see the icon for it on my browser? 

Did you know you can pin your Chrome extensions to make them visible on your toolbar?

Who Knew?!--Organize Bookmarks

Whenever I come across a website that I want to review in more depth at a later time, I am quick to bookmark it. Unfortunately, I bookmark a lot of stuff and struggle to find the site I bookmarked in the first place! 

Did you know you can rename bookmarks and organize them in folders on the Chrome browser?

Who Knew?!--Google Chrome Tab Groups

 Hi, everyone. I've been working on a new series of instructional technology support videos based on some of the questions I receive from teachers. I'm calling it "Who Knew?" and it will showcase some simple ways to maximize your productivity with common the tools you most likely already use. 

For example, we all use the Chrome browser to access the Internet. If you are anything like me, you probably have dozens of tabs open simultaneously. For remote teachers in particular, it is essential to have all of the tabs you intend to showcase in your lesson ready to go. Did you know you can organize your tabs into groups to maximize your productivity on the Web?
