The Chrome Menu

Access the Chrome menu options by clicking the three dots at the top right of your Chrome window, (sometimes referred to as the "shish kebab"). If there is any kind of alert about Chrome, this symbol will be an orange circle with an exclamation mark.

The incognito window allows another user to log in to their Google account in a new window, without your having to log out of your Google account, or out of your computer. It also allows for "private browsing," meaning that history in Incognito Mode won't be saved. To access, click the Chrome menu, then New incognito window.

The Incognito window is also helpful if you want to see how/if a Google doc/website is visible to people outside PISD.

View your history from any device where you've logged in to Chrome! Very helpful for students who are researching at school and then can't remember how they got to a particular site when at home.

Click the Chrome menu > History.

When you click Bookmarks > Show bookmarks bar you will see the small Apps launcher button at the far left of the bar, just below the back arrow button. The Bookmark manager is helpful for organizing your bookmarks.

Click the Chrome menu > Settings and scroll to Appearance

Click Get themes and browse your options. Try out a few!

On a Chromebook, you can enable "OK Google" by checking the box under Search in Settings. Useful for young students or those with print disabilities or mobility impairments. This allows students to initiate a voice search in google.com, the apps launcher, and when opening a new tab.

Do you ever wish you could log in to your personal Gmail account while at school, without having to log out of your school account? Or do you share a computer at home with family members and want to keep your browsing separate from your children's? Google makes it possible for you to have separate instances of Chrome available/open on a workstation at the same time.

Click the Chrome menu > Settings and scroll to People. Click Add person...

Select an icon for the new account and name it. When you click the Add button, a new window with a Chrome login will appear. Sign in with the credentials of the account you're adding.
