Apps Name

Most Google products can be located simply by typing the name of the product followed by dot google dot com. It is oftentimes faster to go directly to the website rather than trying to locate the icon in the apps chooser. Some Google products are not available in the apps chooser so it is important to memorize this simple pattern.

YouTube breaks the pattern. YouTube is owned by Google and you can find it by going to youtube.com.

Gmail can also be located by gmail.google.com but more likely you will just type gmail.com.

Control T

Instead of using the apps chooser to find your apps, use the keyboard shortcut Control T. This opens a new tab. Without touching the mouse, start typing the name of your Google product followed by .google.com and press enter. Boom.

Not Exactly, But Use This

research.google.com/tables

The above link takes you to a Google Search. Type in anything. It searches the web for websites that have DATA. Even better, the data can be directly exported to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. Have students use real data and spreadsheets. This is a valuable life skill you can impart on your students.
