When teaching students how to use Google products, we find ourselves needing to refer to these images:
(This one's in the top-right of most Google products.)
(This one's on the Chrome browser's Bookmarks Bar.)
So what should we call them?
- App Launcher? (the official name)
- 3x3 grid? (what I've been calling them)
- 9 squares? (fairly straightforward)
- Rubik's cube? (pretty cute, I must say...)
Or, the emerging favorite...
- Waffle!
Going with the breakfast theme, it seems logical to call them...
- Pancakes! (some call them a hamburger)
Or at least I will try to. If others don't know what I'm talking about...well, some of the other options above work, too.
Waffles and pancakes make me smile, though.
