One Tab--Control the 18 Tabs You Opened!

Organize Your Tabs!!!

One issue I've seen students struggle with frequently is keeping track off the myriad tabs they have opened while working on assignments. One Tab easily solves that problem and has other beneficial uses, too.

One Tab BASIC USE

One Tab is an extension that appears in your URL toolbar once you download it. Its most basic function is to condense the many tabs you have open at the same time. The extension then creates one tab (literally) with web links to all of your previously opened tabs. The links are much easier to read than clicking on individual tabs.

One Tab LISTS

Another nice feature of this extension is that you can SAVE your list of tabs. If you know you always use three sites/apps every single day, you can create and lock a list of those three tabs. You can also name your list for easier access.

To SAVE your list of tabs, click on MORE. One of the options should be to NAME the tab group. Give the list a name, and One Tab saves your list in seconds. Of course, if you want to repeatedly use the group without having to rename it, you can simply LOCK the group. To do this, go to MORE and select LOCK this tab group. Locking the group means that the links stay associated with the list, AND even when you open the tabs, they will not leave the named group. You can click the X on the actual tab, but the link will still exist in your saved lists.

SHARING One Tab LISTS

Additionally, you can share your list as a web page. This has been really helpful when we work on projects where students need to access numerous documents, sites, or links repeatedly. Basically, you create a list that has all of your resources and click SHARE AS WEB PAGE. This opens a new tab with your list of links and a QR code to accompany it. Others can scan the QR to access the list, or you can provide them with the web page URL.  You can add this URL or QR code to documents, web pages, etc. It is very effective for easily sharing a number of documents simultaneously instead of individually uploading each page, link, or document.
