Crocker’s Chromebook Education Program

After the final Chromebook was distributed a couple weeks ago we started our program to communicate various tips and skills students need to know when using this new learning tool. We will communicate these educational snippets in various ways, including:
  1. On the HTV News program we will frequently offer a short Tech Tip of the Day that will discuss current issues we are seeing and reminders about how to best use and protect the devices. 
  2. Every Monday for at least the next few months we will announce the Chromebook Tip of the Week. This will be offered as an email to staff, will be covered on HTV News and we will also email this out to parents every Monday. These weekly tips will cover best practices, basic tech skills, “did you know that…”, and other bits of information that will be useful for all students. Teachers will cover the Weekly Tech Tip in their classes during the week so that there is a consistent message to all students about this technology information.
  3. In addition, we will post this information on The Crocker TechConnect blog which will archive all of these Weekly Tech Tips and information about the 1:World Initiative.
