When working with lists on a computer, including in PowerSchool and the PowerTeacher Web Gradebook, you may want to select multiple items from that list at one time. If so, there are two ways to do so that will typically work.


Selecting multiple items in a row

Click on the first item that you want to select, such as Algebra below.


Then, go down to the last item in the column that you want selected. Hold down the shift key, and while holding down the shift key, click.


Voila! All of the items that you want selected are now highlighted.


Selecting multiple items that do not appear consecutively

This time, click first on any item that you want to select. (It does not matter where it falls in the order of the list.)


Now, if you are using a Mac, hold down the command (apple) key to the left or right of the spacebar. If you are using a Windows or Linux computer, hold down the control key.

While holding down either the command (Mac) or control (Windows/Linux) key, click on the other items you want selected.


Voila! Now, just the items you want selected are selected.

This little trick works in lots of different software and on lots of websites, so take advantage of it.
