Customizing Your Chromebook

Chromebooks, like other computers, have a desktop, apps, and a place to organize your files.

The Shelf is a bar where you can pin the most used apps, customize settings, and open the App Launcher
The App Launcher has all the apps your Chromebook can access online and offline
The Files app will show you files you download on the hard drive
The Chrome app will launch the web browser, where most online apps open

To further customize your experience, change your desktop image to one of the available images, or upload one yourself. You are also able to change your Shelf position to the right or left edges, giving your more vertical space. Try pinning apps to your Shelf for quick access, too.

While Chromebooks can certainly enhance teaching and learning in the classroom, this doesn’t mean they have to be in use the whole time. There are moments when students need to focus on an announcement, or are working with some other hands-on projects. Have a ‘screens off’ rule where students close their laptop lids. All they have to do to continue working is open the lid and input their password (if that is enabled).
