Chromebook Help and Information

Chromebook 101

CHROMEBOOK TROUBLESHOOTING:

If you are ever experiencing trouble with your Chromebook and you tried everything to try to get it to work, the first thing you should do is to hold the power button down for at least 20 seconds (19 won't work). This is to turn off your device and do a quick reset. After you hold the power button down, turn it back on and see if the problem persists. If that doesn't work, email me (if possible) to see if there is something else you need to try before bringing it up to the office.

IMPORTANT

Since a new update, people can find your exact location from Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. and this is being used by individuals to target people to commit crimes, including theft, stalking, etc.

Please make sure "precise location" is turned off. You can do this by going to your phone settings, social media app, location, & then make sure "precise location" is turned OFF!

Family

Common Sense Media is a wonderful resource for families to learn and explore articles, reviews, and activities to better adapt to keeping up with the fast-changing media landscape.
