Windows 10’s PowerToys Get a Launcher and Keyboard Remapper

We love Microsoft's PowerToys, a free, and open-source collection of useful utilities for Windows 10. With the release of PowerToys 0.18 today, Microsoft is adding a "PowerToys Run" application launcher and a keyboard shortcut manager.

PowerToys Run is a classic keyboard-based application launcher—it can switch to running applications, too. It's a lot like Spotlight on a Mac, and it looks like a more modern replacement for the Win+R keyboard shortcut.

Unlike the standard search feature in Windows 10's Start menu, it's all about launching apps and files—not searching the web with Bing. And, unlike the standard Run dialog, it has built-in search features so you can search for an application by name.

PowerToys Run will also feature customizable plug-ins so you can add features like a calculator or dictionary. Microsoft explains the details in this Launcher design document.

PowerToys will also gain a keyboard key remapper named "Keyboard Shortcut Manager" for remapping individual keys and multi-key shortcuts. It'll be more powerful than SharpKeys and more user-friendly than AutoHotkey for this task.

Like SharpKeys, which remaps keys via the Windows Registry, the Keyboard Shortcut Manager will let you remap a single key to another single key. For example, you could make Caps Lock function as Shift or something else.

Like with AutoHotkey, you'll also be able to edit built-in Windows keyboard shortcuts. Do you want to make Windows lock the screen instead of open the Game Bar when you press Windows+G? You can do that from this interface, too.

These new features were announced at Build 2020, but Microsoft will keep adding more useful tools to PowerToys this summer. A "complete" release of PowerToys 1.0 is expected for September 2020. We're excited to see everything Microsoft adds in the future.

Publishing Opinion Writing Using Apple Clips & PicEdu

Students in Mrs. Heringer's 2nd grade did a fantastic job publishing their opinion writing pieces using PicEdu, Apple Clips & Seesaw. The results are creative, engaging videos that tell their opinions and give voice to their stories. Keep reading to see how they did it! Mrs. Heringer's students worked on their opinion writing pieces and drafted their writing on paper. Students used a graphic organizer to organize their thoughts, using the Step Up to Writing method, then wrote finished drafts onto lined paper. Because students' writing was organized into four groups (first, next, then, last), we had them use the app PicEdu to create four illustrations for their stories. We allowed them to use web search, drawing, stickers or the camera to create their illustrations - our main focus was that students created illustrations that made sense with the words they wrote. Once illustrations were done, we showed students how to use the app Apple Clips to finish their projects. If...
