This morning we are sharing a video tutorial to help you filter your search on a website.
We love “keystrokes”, and this video will demonstrate how to save time using just two keys.
Don’t forget to just “X-out” your “Find Box” when you have found what you are searching for.
Have a wonderful Sunday and a great week!
Take time for yourself!
On March 7, 2011, I shared “Taking the Shortcut”.
This week I was reminded of some other keystroke shortcuts that I use every single day.
I shared these with a group of teachers this week,
and they agreed that these “tricks” were worth a “Sunday Morning Post”.
Stay warm and dry today.
We hope your day has a nap or a good book tucked somewhere inside it.
It doesn’t take long to learn some valuable “shortcuts” that will save you and your students time in the lab.
Basic to student instruction and use are the usual shortcuts keystrokes for:
Copy (Ctrl+C)
Paste (Ctrl +V)
Cut (Ctrl +X).
We teach these to our students in the first week, and find they catch on quickly and grow to use these instead of the “Pull-down Menus”.
One more you can add to their/your repertoire is:
Tab (Ctrl+T)
This allows the students to quickly open up another tab and to work side-by-side when researching and collaborating. By allowing them to use additional tabs open while on the internet, they can save the tabs on the bottom for files/folders they need to access on their computer.
With 30+ computers to shut down every evening, our students use another quick shortcut that gets the job done quickly.
Shortcut to shutting down computers:
Your lab has been shut down, and you can rest knowing your job is finished for the day.
If you are living in the State of Illinois, enjoy your Pulaski Day off, if your district observes it.
Shannon has to work today, but I am lucky enough to have the day off before I return to our first day of ISATs. If you were able to finish yours last week, enjoy your return to normal. We will start in with “Day 1” on Tuesday.
Regardless, have a great week!
