Tech Tip #1: 40 Chromebook Tips for Maximum Productivity
for Technology Teachers
Chromebooks may be all about simplicity, but don't be fooled:
Beneath their intuitive outer layer lies a web of advanced
options. And you don't have to be a power user to embrace it. Make
your way through these 40 tips, and you'll be zipping around
Chrome OS like a pro in no time.
Learn more in the website found: HERE.
Tech Tip #2: A Quick Guide About Using Chromebooks in the Classroom
In Lucie Renard's post, you'll find everything about the
Chromebook classroom. What is a Chromebook? Why should you use a
Chromebook? What are the benefits of a chromebook and how can you
manage Chromebooks? What are the perfect Chromebook apps and what's
the best chromebook for your students?
Learn more by visiting: HERE.
Tech Tip #3: Chromebooks in Education: Everything You Need to Know
A student needs a few basic things to get the most an education has
to offer and a Chromebook is a great way to fulfill those basics. A
big part of the essentials are tools to get and stay organized, a
resource to study and find the information they need to know, and a
system where they can communicate with other students and educators.
Students of higher learning, whether young adults or older adults,
know this and can make sure they have the tools needed. For younger
students, it's important that the right tools be provided so they
can learn about the world around them and what they can do when they
are pushed into it. They also need to learn how to learn, which can
be the biggest challenge to an educator.
