Welcome

What up playas! Are you ready for some #chromebook action!?

I'm going to use this blog to help make our science class more advanced and interesting.

Step one: Do Now

Step Two: Use your own headphones to: Watch this video

Step Three: Lets try Socrative


Step Four: Google Chrome Basics

1. No hard drive. You save everything in "the Cloud"
2. No programs. You use Google Drive to work on documents

Try it!

3. There are "apps." Try installing "Typing Club."

4. Create a Google Docs to take notes on Chromebooks

5. After notes use the rest of the time to practice typing or make a presentation telling me about yourself.
