What are they?
What are they?
A Chromebook is a laptop style computer that does not run a traditional operating system like Windows or MacOS (so there are no installed programs like Word, Excel, Photoshop, etc).
Instead, Chromebooks use a Chrome Operating System which means they are designed to simply connect to the internet and use web-based apps like Google Drive, Docs, Slides, Draw, Sheets etc. What makes this so great is that they are really fast and really easy to use with a GSuite account.

Settings, bookmarks, themes, apps (Drive, Docs, Slides, etc) and extensions will travel with you and your account so it doesn't matter which Chromebook you use.
You can also sign in as a GUEST - no password required. This option allows for web browsing only.

For the most part using a Chromebook is just like using a regular laptop computer however there are some things that are a bit different.
To the right is a slideshow reviewing some of these.
I recommend going through it before you use the computers for the first time.
Feel free to share with your students as well.
