Chromebooks!

Here are some handy tips:

Hold down Ctrl-Alt and click ? — that brings up a list of all keyboard shortcuts

Hold down Ctrl and click Switcher (that’s the key above 6) — that will take a screenshot and save it to your Downloads folder

To take a screenshot of a certain area, hold down Ctrl-Shift and click Switcher and select the area you want to screenshot

Please note it’s very important to save all files into Google Drive, not onto your device. When your device needs to be repaired you will lose any files stored on the device, but your Google Drive files will still be there for you. It’s also easier to find your files on Google Drive and you can open them from other computers in case you need to print. If you want to change your Downloads folder to automatically point to a folder in Google Drive, here’s how: from Chrome click the three dots in the upper right and choose Settings. Click Advanced at left, then scroll down to Downloads. Click Change, choose Google Drive, click New Folder, name it (perhaps Downloads is a good name) and hit Open.

It’s a good idea to create a pattern for charging your device so that you won’t forget. A good idea is to plug it in before going to bed, preferably near your backpack, jacket, or whatever else you’ll definitely bring to school the next day so you won’t forget to bring it.

If you need help with your device, after logging into Clever you’ll see a blue Student Tech Help icon. Click that to send an email to student help desk. You can also bring your device to the library for repair, which is typically done within 1-2 class periods, or if you need help.
