In this video, you are going to learn about:
Pinning tabs
Grouping tabs
Virtual desks
Re-opening a tab
Auto-loading tabs
Organizing bookmarks (bonus)
Pinning a tab
Let's start by pinning the tabs that you use most frequently. This might be Google Drive, Gmail, Google Classroom, etc.
Pin TWO tabs that you use all of the time.
Take a screenshot to upload to the Google Form provided below.
Tab group
Grouping tabs would be extremely helpful when working on multiple projects. For example, when I create a badge, I have all of these tabs open (Google Sites, Forms, Sheets, Slides). Having these grouped together will allow you to close the group without having to close the tabs.
Create a GROUP of tabs.
Take a screenshot to upload to the Google Form provided below.
Creating a VIRTUAL DESK can only be done on a Chromebook. Watch the video to learn more!
Reopening a tab
If you ever accidentally close a tab and need it back..... Ctrl + Shift + T (on a MacBook, Command + Shift + T) will reopen the tab.
Automatically SAVE and RE-OPEN your tabs
Click on the snowman (three dots in top right), go to Settings, search for ON START UP. You will have three options to choose from:
Open the new tab page
Continue where you left off
Open a specific page or set of pages
Bonus....watch THIS video to learn how to organize your bookmarks.
