Screenshots Using a Chromebook

Whenever you are wanting to screenshot a browser page, a picture, an email, etc. all you have to do is hold down the control button on the left or right side of your keyboard and the multi-window button at the very top middle of your keyboard that looks like a square with two lines on the right side. This will take a picture of whatever is currently pulled up on your screen and it will save it in the downloaded section of your files. To access files, click the magnifying glass in the bottom left of your taskbar. Then search for files and select it. There will also be a small pop-up that will appear in the bottom right of your screen in the taskbar, next to the time. It will be a gray square with 1 inside of it if you have taken one screenshot. The number will reflect the number of screenshots you have taken. If you click this, it will say “Click to view your screenshot” or “Copy to clipboard”. You can then either view it or copy it. After you have finished with the notification pop-up, there will be an x in the top right corner. Click this in order to close the pop-up.

Lastpass App for IOS and Android

Ever forgotten a password? Well, LastPass is the solution to that problem! LastPass is a free app on the Appstore and Google Play Store that helps the people with quick minds. As a utility app, LastPass saves all your passwords and important notes on a single app, the app, and your account can be accessed from any device, as long as you log into your account. Along with saving passwords, LastPass can also save important notes like bank account information, credit cards, or even insurance. With iPhones, you can even seal it with your Touch-ID!

Google Cardboard Apps

Google Cardboard is an interactive device that helps with user integration and full experience. When using the cardboard a smartphone is slid into the slot and closed, the app being used, if set in VR mode (Virtual Reality,) will split into two screens to adjust to the offset of your eyes. This causes the display to appear three-dimensional.

There are many Google Cardboard Apps that will work with the Google Cardboard Device. I found nine that seem to have the best integration.

  1. Google Cardboard
  2. Casa Maracanã
  3. Dive CIty Coaster
  4. Crazy Swing VR
  5. Discovery VR
  6. Skydive 360
  7. VR One Cinema
  8. Roller Coaster VR
  9. Blow Up

Chromebook Apps and Extensions

If there is any particular app or extension (which is a shortcut for an app or website) that you wish to add to your Chromebook, the first step is to look up the Chrome Web Store. Once you’re there, you can search whatever app you want. If you want a particular extension or specifically an app, you can check your preferences beneath the search bar in the upper left-hand corner. When you have found the app or extension you want, all you need to do is click on “add to chrome”. It will ask you for a confirmation, all you need to do is click “add” and it will add it to your computer. To access the new app, look it up using the magnifying glass in the lower left-hand corner of your Chromebook. An extension will show up next to the URL line in the upper right-hand corner once it is added. It can be activated by clicking on it. Now you have cool new apps and extensions for your Chromebook!
