Chromebook Ping Instructions
The Ping/Search History may be used to locate the last known location of a Chromebook as well as to display any available Internet search history
Notes:
Chromebooks are not equipped with GPS hardware so the location is determined by the often times less accurate method of Wi-Fi trilateration.
Ping will return the last known location of the Chromebook going back to Aug 1, of the current school year.
Many times, when a Chromebook cannot be located, it will be placed at or near the Central Office.
This site can only be accessed by Principals, Assistant Principals, and Administrative Assistants.
