9 Tutorials on Chromebook

Okay, I found this on Pinterest. Yes, I use Pinterest, but only for work, I promise.

One thing that I did not like about Chromebooks was the fact that there was no caps lock. Apparently, I was wrong. And did you know there is also a delete function? Me neither, until today.

So much to learn!

Here is the link to the site I found.

Chromebook Stuff

With the 6th grade going 1:1 next year, and 7th grade after that, and then 8th after that, finding apps and information can be overwhelming. John Sedwick is hosting a group on My Big Campus to help gather material and be a resource.

I will also be posting resources from time to time, many of which I will get from John. One of the great resources he has already shared is Shake Up Learning (shakeuplearning.com).

Here is a link to a sample post - 45 Fantastic Chrome Apps and Extensions

Look for the labels "Chrome Books" and "Google Suite" for more ideas and info.
