Can you believe summer is over? I know for a few of you, it is still occuring with school not starting until Sept 5th or 6th! Enjoy the last few days and for those that started last Monday August 21st- remember you have many days already done:) Ok kidding aside, I hope you are all ready for an exciting year ahead. I know I am! It has been awesome training staff in August on the use of Chromebooks in the classroom as many of our classrooms received new Chromebooks this year. Thank you IU13! I created a helpful document for those staff that are using Chromebooks. This is for your students (and you too).Tips on Chromebook  I hope you find it useful. I also created a PowerPoint that I used to teach these tips on using a Chromebook. Tips to Using a Chromebook Please feel free to edit is and make it your own.
