GOOGLE APP Trick
I like to show students how to use the grid on Chrome to easily access their G Suite Apps. However, I have to admit that I don’t use it. Why? Because I have found that after using all of the apps over and over again, I can simply type in one or two letters into my Chrome browser search and it will insert the rest of the url making it easy to simply hit enter. For example, I type in d and it knows I want to go to drive.google.com. I type in do and it knows I want to go to docs.google.com. If you understand the system Google uses for all of its apps (app name first, period, google.com), than it makes it easy to use this shortcut. Well now Google is making it even easier. If you want to create a new google doc, all you have to do is simply type in doc.new. If you want to create a new google slide, simply type in slide.new. If you want to create a new google sheet, type in sheet.new and so on. All of these little tricks really does save time. Give it a try yourself!
