Mobile and Desktop Friendly How to Add a Website Bookmark to Your Home Screen on iPhone and iPadSome websites don't have a dedicated mobile app for accessing their content, but that doesn't mean you can't add bookmarks to favorite websites on your Home screen. Creating a bookmark on your Home screen lets you use it as a one-tap portal to access specific online content, instead of having to open a browser and then select a bookmark or type in a website's URL address. When you tap a website bookmark on your Home screen, it opens in Safari on the specific page you selected. If the site you're linking to has a dynamic mobile-friendly layout, accessing it from your Home screen can even become an app-like experience. What's more, you can create as many website links as you like and arrange them on your iPhone or iPad Home screen, just like you would with regular apps. Here's how it works. How to Create a Website Link on Your Home Screen
Your new "web app" will appear in the next available space on your device's Home screen. To move it like you would any other app, tap and hold its icon, then tap Edit Home Screen, and you'll be able to drag it to your desired location. When you've placed it where you want it, tap Done.

An exam week schedule for the library has been posted on the library door. Remember that the reference room is being used for exams, so if you're using the library for reading, study, or finishing work, please be quiet and respectful of the space for the exam students.
Also, please remember to hand in any overdue books and textbooks you have checked out from the library. Miss Harisch's Socials 11 class has been working on a semester long inquiry project and today was their presentation day! They used the library to set up their projects which ranged from brochures and essays, to posters and visual presentations. Their general scope was Canada in the 20th century and they chose a specific topic to generate an inquiry question on. They researched a wide range of topics such as artists, LGBT marriage equality, Aboriginal rights, technological advancements, the environment, and minority rights. Great work everyone! |
