Adding your favorite website shortcuts to your desktop

I know it's been a while since I've last posted. I thought I'd ease myself in a little with a quick and easy Teacher Technology Tip. Have you ever wanted to create a desktop shortcut for one of your most used sites so your students can get to it directly? Well, today I'm going to show you how!
First visit the site you'd like to create a shortcut for. Next you will want to restore your window down, or make it smaller like I've done in the picture below. Once you've done this, click and drag the icon that appears before the URL onto your desktop.
Just like that you now have a desktop shortcut!
