Tech Tip Tuesday
August 20, 2024
Welcome to the next edition of Tech Tuesday Tips & Tricks. Every Tuesday, your EdTech Team will send you quick tips and tricks to help you with your everyday technology use. We will also link them to our Tech Hub in the Classroom by Design Website. If you need more in-depth training on a particular technology, please watch for when I am on your campus or email us (edtech@fusdaz.org), and we can schedule a time.

If you would like to see a particular tip and trick, email us with your suggestion or with something you’d like to learn, and we will feature your suggestion in an upcoming week!
How to Group Tabs in Google Chrome
A feature incorporated in Google Chrome called tab groups will let you group open websites together with one click, and label them with a custom name and color. Once you've created a group, you'll be able to move and reorder the tabs within. Tab groups will be especially helpful for when you're working on a bunch of different projects at once, tracking task progress, or looking through several sites. Here’s how to create group tabs:
Step 1 - Right click on an open tab and click "Add tab to new group"

Screen Time Sanity: Finding a Healthy Balance
Finding a healthy balance between screen time and real-life experiences is crucial for both students and teachers. Encourage students to set daily screen time limits and establish tech-free zones, such as mealtimes and before bed. Encourage mindful technology use by prioritizing face-to-face interaction, outdoor activities, and hobbies. Educators can also model healthy screen time habits by setting boundaries for themselves and incorporating technology into their lessons in a balanced and engaging way. Remember that technology can be a valuable tool when used responsibly and in moderation.
