In this weeks.
Practical Ed Tech Newsletter I shared a few of my preferred “techy” techniques to impress your trainees and coworkers. Among those tricks is to use the check tool in Chrome to see the code behind any website and then customize it to change what appears on the page on your computer..

Applications for Education.
Chromes inspect tool provides a great way for trainees to see how the code of a website works. I often had my ninth grade coding students do that last year.

The inspect tool in Chrome lets you see the code behind any web page and modification that code to display anything that you desire in place of the original text and images. See this short video to see how it works.

You can likewise use the examine tool to modify a post online to make it a satire story. Then print the page and offer it to your trainees to attempt to recognize the satire components of the story.
