12 Days of Google Tips: Tip 5 - Google Chrome Reading Lists

Image
By

Tis the season of giving and I’ve been inspired by my PLN and a certain holiday song to share some Google Workspace Tips that I’ve either discovered or rediscovered in 2021. To be precise, the plan is two share 12 Google tips in addition to any other posts I am inspired to complete during the month of December. I will link other 12 Days of Google posts at the end of each post for your reference. 

Today I wanted to share my fifth tip connected to saving online articles that I want to read later using the Chrome browser “Reading list”. 

I’ve used the Save to Pocket Chrome Extension for several years to organize websites and articles that I want to save for later review, so initially I didn’t even look twice at the Chrome “Reading list” when it was first introduced.


While I still use the Pocket extension, I have also started to use the “Reading list” for articles that I know I want to come back to right away. Pocket has shifted to become more of a long term storage solution and the reading list is there to remind me to look at something as soon as I can. If I read an article in my Reading list and I want to keep it long term, I just add it to Pocket after reading. 
I love how easy it is to add the articles to the browser and the fact that I can see my reading list on any device when I am signed into Chrome.I like that is one click to mark an article as read. It moves to the bottom in “Pages You’ve Read” list.It is also easy to remove any of the articles with a single click.It even tells me at a glance how long it’s been since I added something to a reading list. 
The Process
Open a page or article in Chrome. If you don’t see the “Reading list” on the right, right click on the Bookmarks bar and you can toggle it on. 

Click on the bookmark star and choose “Add to reading list”. 

The article will appear in the “Reading list”. Clicking on the article will open it in a new tab. Clicking on the check will move it to the pages you’ve read, and the x will remove the saved article from your list.

Bonus
Did you know you can also download articles to read offline if you know you are going to be offline for a bit?

Twitter Tips - The Power of Twitter Notifications and More Tools to Streamline Your Twitter Experience

By
I don’t know about you, but I always have a lot of Twitter FOMO. Not sure if this is a really thing or it is just me? I’ve always stuck to the model that if someone connected to teaching and learning follows me, I will follow them back. This has let me to some great follows, but it has also added more to my Twitter stream than I can follow most days.  Today, I wanted to share a few resources I use to streamline my Twitter experience. There are many great resources that can help organize and streamline Twitter, but today  I will focus on 4: Twitter Notifications, Twitter Lists, IFTTT, and Tweetdeck.  Twitter Notifications I have to admit that up until a few months ago, I never really used or looked at using the Twitter notification icon for some of my favorite follows. It has become on of my favorites since then.  I have notifications set for less than a dozen twitter accounts. I don’t want to be overwhelmed by notifications, so keeping it to a core group really helps...

The spiciness of Sambal Balado Minangkabau

By
Balado is a typical cooking technique from Minangkabau that is by sauté chili milled with various spices, usually can onion, then garlic, and also lime. In contrast to other chili sauce which only uses chili milled as a companion of food by dyed, but Balado is served by re-cooked with various types of dishes such as jerky, , and also tempe goreng. The action of adding chili and spices is believed to make food more durable. The common and commonly used chili is red curly pink, although, in reality, this Balado dish with green chili is also no less popular. Actually, the use of the word Balado itself is used after the noun, ie, For example, Balado Fish can Fish + Chilli, Balado Gulai, then Saur Bayam Balado, and Dendeng Balado. But not Balado jerky or Balado Fish. The use of this word Balado before the noun is a misuse of the language and thus eliminates the real meaning in the original Minangkabau language (language). The way to make this Balado sauce does not take much time and is very...
