Tech Tips
Having an assigned Chromebook for both school and home use necessitates that the parent/guardian help the student manage online activity. Below are some tips that can help parents/guardians create effective online usage, as well as space at home while online.
The parent is in charge
Set rules and expectations for Chromebook use at home.
Position screens where you can easily see them while the student is online.
Designate times and locations in the house for Chromebook use.
Specify times when the Chromebook can only be used for school work and if, or when, it can be used for recreational activities.
Talk with your child
About what they are doing online and have them show you what they do and where they go online.
Ask them to show you how they use the computer for school work and for recreation.
Talk about sharing too much information online and set expectations for appropriate use.
