Clearing your browser cache

Most browsers enable caching so that pages load faster. If the page doesn't refresh properly you will not see the newest page. (If you are one of my students and you are not seeing the new lesson, then the browser is showing you an older cached page.) Here is how to force it to reload and show the lastest version of the page:

First try this:

PC: Hold the control key and clicking the refresh icon on the tool bar.

Mac: Hold the command key and click the refresh icon on the tool bar.
