Chromebooks! |
|
This year we are all switching over to Chromebooks, so it will be a learning curve for everyone. We will all be on the same learning curve, kids and teachers alike, so this should be a super fun year in media/STEM class.
Chromebooks WILL NOT BE BROUGHT HOME they will stay in the building unless an assignment has been given to a student.
We will still be using the Google Suite for storage of documents etc. and students will need to know their username and passwords. This is the first 5 letters of the last name and first 3 of the first name. Sometimes this can be different because of someone else in WCPS having a similar name, and this username will be provided to the students at the beginning of the year. All usernames are followed by @wcps.k12.md.us when logging in to Chromebooks. The password is wcps immediately followed by the student's 6 digit lunch number.
