Mrs. Bernard's Media Center Moment of the Week

Did you know it's as easy as 1-2-3-4 to use your trackpads on your chromebooks?

If you are anything like me, I always end up accidentally scrolling the wrong way or clicking the wrong thing when I try to navigate on my chromebook. I found this helpful graphic from Eric Curtis, and it has been super helpful in giving me some shortcuts to use. Using either one, two, three, or four fingers on your trackpad, you can perform multiple functions, such as opening a new tab, scrolling, or more.
