Why Chromebooks?
Why Chromebooks?
As the college uses Google applications as it's virtual learning environment, being able to use Chromebooks in and out of College will make it easier for you to complete coursework and get into apps such as Google Classroom. Once you are logged into your Chromebook using your College log-in information, you are all set to use it in and out of College.
You will also have access to your College's Google Drive so if you want to access any documents made in College, you can access these at home using the Drive.
