Hey, It's my first day with a new computer AND this course! I feel silly asking this, but while I am following along with the videos and trying to practice on my own page, what's the best way to toggle between the pages?? I am finding that I have to constantly pause the videos and go over to my own page to do the work...surely there is a better way? I am running Windows..... any suggestions?

There are no bad questions! :)
My preference is to drag the tab of the webpage(I'm using Chrome on Windows 10) to the side until it sticks and then choose my coding screen for the other side of the screen so I can see the video and the script side-by-side. The only drawback is the video screen is kind of tiny so I have to move the screen into normal size once in awhile to see the video better.
An alternative is to hold down the Alt button and push tab. As long as you keep the Alt button pushed down you can quickly cycle through your screens as many times as you like.
Cheers!
