Splitting Your View

Do you or your students find it distracting or confusing to have to switch from tab to tab while working in GAFE? Tab Resize is an extension that allows students to split their chrome browser window in two so that students can read an assignment or article in one window in make notes in a doc in the other window.

As it is an extension, Tab Resize can be installed through Settings>Extensions>Get More Extensions in your Chrome browser. When it is enabled a small Tab Resize icon appears to the right of your address bar. 

Clicking on the icon opens the split window dialogue. Simply click on the arrangement you would like split horizontal, split vertical, or single view. 

Split view opens another instant of the browser.

Clicking on a window makes it active. A simple way to work in one a doc while viewing something else in another with no need to flip between tabs. When you are finished working, you can click on the Tab Resize icon and select the single view option to switch back to a single browser view.

A simple solution for those who don't like changing between tabs.
