Parent Pointer: Creating Bookmarks on the Chromebooks (really in Chrome)

This post was originally posted on December 9, 2020, and has been updated as a reminder or a tech tip for Virtual Campus parents.


Help your child navigate to a video conferencing room with just a click of a button! To do this on the Parkway-issued student Chromebooks:

  1. Click on the teacher’s video conferencing link to get the web address. 

  2. Highlight the star at the end of the web address to add it as a bookmark. 

  3. Change the name of the bookmark to the teacher’s name or the subject.

  4. The icon with its name will appear below the web address. 


Now all the student has to do is to click on the icon or name and he/she will go directly to the video conference. You can also create bookmarks with shared Google Docs/Slides agendas. No need to click and search for the link in Schoology. Here’s a short video (less than a minute) to help guide you through the process. Good luck!
