This is a very simple tip but I often find people who don’t know that these options exist. In Google Chrome, you can secondary click (right click for most of you) on any tab to get a list of very helpful options. The ones that I use most frequently are “pin tab” and “close tabs to the right.” If you are like me, you could have 20 tabs open at any given moment. When I find myself being overwhelmed with tabs, I “pin” the ones that I want to keep open while I work and then I “close all tabs to the right” of my leftmost tab. I always have my Drive and Gmail tabs “pinned” to keep them in the same spot and to keep myself from accidentally closing them. Speaking of accidentally closing a tab, if this happens then all you need to do is secondary click on any tab and you will find an option to “reopen closed tab.” Close out this tab and try it now it really works! The “duplicate” tab option can come in handy too. I often use it when I want to keep a webpage open but also quickly open another page on the same website. Once you get in the habit of using these tab features then you will become more organized and work more efficiently. Please share these tab tips with your students!
