4 tips for your teacher laptop – Apple editionBy Steve Voisey 1. Command tabThe point of this tip is to switch between applications. For instance, you have chrome open and you want to quickly switch to Word. Of course, this is only useful if you have more than one application open. My experience is that some teachers only ever use Chrome, so this tip is no use for them. What to do:
You’ll see all your open applications. If you touch tab again, you’ll go to the next application. If you let go of alt, you will switch to that application. 2. Command ctrl shift 4This is my most popular tip. It enables you to take a screenshot and paste it into a document very quickly. For instance, you might see something in a web-page and you want to email someone about it without making them search through the website.
That’s it! 3. Two fingered scrollingDo you get frustrated trying to find the scroll bar? This tip works 99% of the time.
You’re almost certainly scrolling. And you’re welcome! 4. Use a mail client like Spark
This is a bit controversial. Here goes: I HARDLY EVER READ EMAIL IN A BROWSER. Phew!
But more schools use Google Mail. I’ve been using Spark Mail recently. It works. It looks beautiful, and it does everything in my essentials list. And it’s free. |
A digital platform that helps schools manage their online learning environment.
