The following are materials that you will NEED in order to succeed Online!
CHROMEBOOK issued to you by Abington School District.
Homework Book (this will be provided for you)
A writing utensil
A Stylus (optional) – the Chromebooks ordered by Abington School District do fold into tablet mode and are equipped with a touchscreen. From what I’ve been told by our technology department, any stylus should work on the Chromebooks – even ones purchased at stores like Five & Below.
If you’re like me and you detest the touchpad on a laptop or Chromebook, you might want to get a Mouse that connects to the USB port on the Chromebook. If you like working with a touchpad as your mouse then ignore this suggestion! This is optional.
Wired earbuds or headphones. We will watch several video clips throughout the year so please have a set of earbuds or headphones so that you can easily participate.
Colored pencils
A folder
