Presentation Trick Innovative Educators Will Love

Here’s a trick that will come in handy for innovative educators who have times when it becomes helpful to have lots of tabs easily accessible.  For example, say you are having several students present one day and you don’t want to have to click open each presentation or connect and disconnect various devices from the display station.  Or, maybe there are tabs that you use each time you conduct a particular class.  And, everybody has the usual tabs that they need each day. 

Using Chrome bookmarks, you can put all those tabs in a folder, then have them instantly open at your command. 

Here are the 3 Steps to Auto-Accessing Multiple Tabs in Chrome: 

Step 1:  Create a folder

• Go to “Bookmarks”
• Right click
• Select “Add a folder”

Step 2: Add pages

• Add pages to your folder

Step 3: Open all tabs

• Go to your folder in bookmarks
• Right click.
• Select how you would like your tabs opened. You can:
• Open all (right where you are)
• Open all (in a new window)
• Open all (in a new incognito window)

The results

Now you don’t have to worry about what device you are on or if your computer restarts or if someone accidentally closes a window.  You have a tool to quickly and easily open all the tabs you want.

Here is what it looks like:
