Google Chrome is an amazing tool that allows you do almost anything. But how do you take advantage of the little things like timers, conversions, or looking up a definition? This post will show you ways to use Google Chrome to save time and enhance learning! First things first, the lingo. That box at the top of your screen, the one that is filled with "https://sites.google.com/si.." that is called an Omnibox. When you are in Google Chrome, you can enter anything into the Onmibox, just like you can in a Google search, and you will get the results! Other cool things to enter into the Omnibox include: Roll a Dice, Flip a Coin, 1 minute Timer (or any time), enter in conversions as a math formula, or click on the microphone for Voice Search for spelling and grammar. Now onto the fancy stuff. If you were overwhelmed before, stop and be done! It's OK, nobody will judge you! Below is a step by step guide to create one step shortcuts that truly make your classroom faster!
So now that you have seen the easy stuff, we can begin the Omnibox takeover!
