Tricky Touchpad Tips

Today we learnt how to use the touchpad on our chromebook.

Most of us found this pretty tricky.

We were learning how to use the polyline tool to follow a dot to dot. This was the most tricky because we had to click once, then move our mouse and then click once again and repeat this for all the dots. If we accidentally clicked twice we had to start again.. When we did finish the polyline dot to dot we realised it was a star!

We also got to do a puzzle game where we had to drag pieces together to make the puzzle look right. You could give this a go here: Drag and Drop Jigsaw

Finally, we learnt how to take a screenshot of our work – you press control, shift and show windows and you can either take a whole screen shot or a smaller screen shot of part of your screen.

We will keep practicing using our touchpads so we can get even better!

Do you have any tips for using the touchpads on your chromebooks?
