In yesterday’s post we talked about Google Training Centre and the different professional development opportunities it provides for teachers and educators. Today we are highlighting a particular section from Google Training Centre dedicated to Chromebooks. This is a unit that contains a number of lessons and resources to help teachers make the best of Chromebooks in their instruction. The lessons vary from ‘basic use and customization to integrating Google tools and services.’
Some of the things you will get to learn from this unit include:
- ‘What are Chromebooks and how are they different from other computers
- How to manage and take care of Chromebooks in schools
- How to personalize your Chromebook
- How you can integrate technology in your classroom using Chromebooks
- How Chromebooks and Google Apps for Education work seamlessly together
- How teachers can find and assign apps to students
- How to troubleshoot simple Chromebook issues, and where to find support when needed.’
You can use the menu on the left to navigate and move from one lesson to another. For those of you who are familiar with Google Training Centre, watch the video below to learn more.
