Google Chrome Tricks

Hey guys,
Today I wanted finish up on Google Chrome with some individual tricks that can be very useful. These aren’t really related to one specific topic, but are great tricks to remember.

The first trick is using alt+left arrow and alt+right arrow to go backwards and forwards a page respectively. This is extremely useful as it allows you to quickly navigate through pages and maximise your time, especially for research tasks where this is vital.

The second trick is the use of ctrl+k or ctrl+e, which allows for you to perform a Google search from any webpage. This is great as you can quickly access new information if you are unsure of something whilst researching, shopping online, or just casually browsing the internet. Using ctrl+k will achieve a similar result by selecting all of what is in the URL bar.

The final trick is related to the second one, in that it allows you to quickly search for websites. The use of ctrl+enter will automatically finish the web address for you, which might only save a few seconds each time, but this type of saving can quickly add up.

Hopefully you found these tips useful and you can put them into practice in your own internet use.

Oliver

Simply divide your notes into 3 sections.  -           The right column is the general notes area. The notes area is where you keep the most important ideas the teacher covered. Try to summarise this as much as possible. -           The left column is the cues area. This is where you write notes in the margins to help you understand the main ideas. -           The bottom section is the summary . This is where you ...

Perfect hacks for lazy people like me!

Here are my top tips on how to get away with the bare minimum on those lazy days 1. If you’re feeling extra tired because you didn’t get enough sleep from all the Netflix binging or even partying- that of course your friends dragged you out to – use a white eyeliner to make you seem more awake! Just add some on the waterline in the bottom of your lid for a fresh and awake look. 2. If you’re feeling too lazy to take your makeup off after a night out and just want to sleep when you get home, make sure to keep some makeup remover wipes and a glass of water by your bed, the makeup wipes are to make sure you don’t clog your pores and the water is so you love yourself in the morning instead of having to get out of that warm and comfy bed! 3.
