Create Bookmarks in your Browser or Other Tools
Bookmarking GoNoodle makes it easy to access the site from a single click within your chosen browser -- especially when you're taking advantage of the 30 day session cookie. To get the most use of this, bookmark the pages you use the most -- copy the URL from the address bar when you're on a page you want to bookmark. For example:
- If you want to jump right into your account when logged in, bookmark gonoodle.com
- If you want to jump right to your favorites when logged in, bookmark gonoodle.com/favorites
Note that bookmarking depends on the browser you use. The 3rd party links below can help you learn how to bookmark in your chosen browser:
Many teachers will "bookmark" specific pages within GoNoodle in other tools. For example, some teachers take a few moments during planning time to create documents or presentations with direct links to the activities they wish to use strategically throughout the day. With this, they can then "navigate" GoNoodle by simply clicking the links in those documents.

Create a Shortcut on your Desktop
Alternative to bookmark browsers, you can create shortcut icons on your desktop. The steps to do this depend on if you're on a Mac or a PC.
