Introducing Your Chromebook
Choose One
Chromebook Exploration: If you are somewhat comfortable with technology and you are a more independent learner, click the link to choose this option (You can always join Chromebook “Boot Camp” at any time). Once you are finished, please use your remaining time to complete one or more of the Optional Activities below.
or
Chromebook “Boot Camp”: Go to the Group Instruction Area for guided instruction on basic functions of the Chromebook such as Power On/Off, Signing In, Wifi Connection, Google Chrome, Apps, Status Bar, Settings, Volume, Sign Out, etc. No question is too basic! Join at any time for a more guided approach.
or
Tech Leader Lens: If you are already very comfortable with your Chromebook, you can shift your lens toward the ways in which you will introduce your colleagues to this technology and its basic functions. You will work through the Chromebook Exploration, making notes as to different responses your colleagues may have to the steps in this process. You should begin to consider how you would adapt an activity like this to fit for your own school-based training.
Optional Activities: Watch any of the following videos created by Google for additional information about the potential for Chromebooks in the classroom.
