Are you seeing "student not found" see possible reasons why.

Remember GoGuardian monitors students activity on active web-browsers when using a district chromebook.

The big differences between 4G and 5G. Companies are racing to have the fastest or largest 5G networks. And countries are competing to be the first to deploy fully functional, nationwide 5G, because of the many revolutionary innovations experts anticipate will be built on top of it. Learn more.

Using Explore in Google Slides

Google Explore is a feature in Google Slides that allows users to create more polished and professional presentations.

As you work on your presentation, the Explore tool in Google Slides generates design layout suggestions based on the content on your slide.

Pick a recommendation and apply it to your slide- no cropping resizing or reformatting required.

By this point in the year, you or your students may have made a mistake or two using the computer. ;) If you mistype a word or command in a program like Google Docs, you can undo the action by pressing Command+Z (on a Mac) or Control+Z (on a PC or Chromebook). This will undo the last action!
