Tech Tip of the Week - November 24

Google Drive Offline! Although the Chromebook is an online, cloud-based device, Google Drive documents are available offline! This means that if your home wifi router is down, the electricity goes out, or you want your student to work on their homework in the car as you run errands… students CAN ACCESS Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides when they are not connected to wifi. Students can even make new documents when disconnected. The next time the Chromebook connects to wifi - Google will synchronize Drive documents to the cloud!

To make sure this is happening - select “Experience the New Drive” from the settings menu in Google Drive.
