When you first open Chrome, you will be prompted to sign in. Signing in with your school account (e.g., firstname.lastname@greenwoodcollege.com) will automatically log you into your Google Workspace apps (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, etc.) and sync your bookmarks, tab groups, and history.

Entering Grade 7 students are expected to have basic keyboarding skills, including home-row positioning, standard shortcuts, and proper posture. Aim for a novice target of 20 WPM with over 85% accuracy, or an intermediate target of 40 WPM with over 92% accuracy.
