Digital Citizenship Week is October 19–23! It’s a great opportunity to help our students think about how they can be safe, responsible and thoughtful digital citizens, but it’s also a good reminder for all of us to take a look at our own digital habits.

Shannon, Jane and I are looking forward to another fabulous year of helping you with technology, sharing new ideas, and bringing you helpful shortcuts and resources through our weekly Tuesday Tech Tips.

If your computer currently has 17 different windows open and you’re playing a game of “Where did I put that document?”, this tip is for you (yes, that’s me too). I just discovered this icon on my computer and I had to share!
Windows 11 includes a hidden tool called Virtual Desktops, that lets you create separate workspaces for different tasks.
