Splitting your screen is helpful when looking back at a passage to answer questions or write a response. It is also beneficial when comparing information between two or more windows.

Step 1. If someone in your class already knows how to split the screen, ask them to demonstrate how they do it and try it out. 

Example: Going to http://google.com for Chromebook help displayed this message

Step 2. Search for a shortcut to split your screen for your device by searching “How do you split the screen on a ____________?” (Chromebook, iPad, Mac, Windows PC, etc.)

Step 3. PRACTICE IT, SHARE IT, and TEACH IT to two or more individuals (a relative, classmate, friend, etc.).
