CHROMEBOOKS

The Chromebook is a device we have provided for students and staff to maximize learning flexibility, collaboration and creativity.

Learn all about it below.

Q: HOW CAN I MONITOR STUDENT ACTIVITY ON THEIR CHROMEBOOK?

With just about every student in our district currently in possession of a Chromebook, we knew that we needed a solution for keeping track of what students do on their devices during class time. Teachers in grades 5-12 have access to a tool called Vision which allows you to get a glimpse of what is happening on a student's Chromebook without having to be watching over their shoulder continually.

Learn how to use Vision with this guide

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHROMEBOOK

Below are a series of videos and activities created to introduce students (or staff) to the basics of Chromebook use and navigation.

The lessons are presented in a way to provide you with content you can assign to your students via Google Classroom. Here are the steps, as an example:

Create an Assignment in Google Classroom called "Getting to know your Chromebook - Lesson 1"
Attach the Lesson 1 video to the Assignment
Attach the Student task (a quick activity for students to complete that demonstrates their understanding)
Attach the Google Form Assessment (a quick 3-6 question quiz that highlights what was covered in the video)

Students then engage with the Assignment by watching the video, and completing the task and assessment.
