hey there this is Caleb again your School Technology support for goal I'm on my way to go over Chrome OS and this video we're going to go ahead and see your login I'm from the main login screen for the Chromebook in the first thing that we want to become aware of now that we've got logged in Amara home page is in the bottom right corner we have our clock Wi-Fi symbol and battery symbol this is where your system tray is located you click on this the system tray pops up this right here usually has some vacations this is showing me that I'm sharing my screen for you guys usually you can clear all these out like you had your little emblem picture here for your account there's your sign out option if you need to go back and get to testnav and aimsweb the main login screen for the Chromebook power lock screen just to let your Chrome browser I take that back that's the main settings for the device essentially the same thing because it's all through Google this right here we'll just drop the menu for your system tray this is your Wi-Fi emblem if you're getting a new device or are free casino returning student if it hasn't been on the network for a while or spend time with all summer can you connect to Wi-Fi are you going to hear just lie here scanning for Wi-Fi symbols I'm connected to my home network here and no I did not come up with that name my wife did but if you need to connect to your home network make sure you have information handy and you find your network as the device can for you click on it is their property for the password you put in the password and then this right here should highlight up with your network name and signal strength I recommend at least having a medium signal strength of preferably have strong signal understand everybody can't be right next to their home router that's just a picture of our world but you do lo I mean he's saying below Medium you're going to have some issues Bluetooth is on here I don't have anything connected to Bluetooth I think it's just kind of default dated like that it's off if it's highlighted it we could tear your headphones or Mauser keyboard all of that going to be there do not disturb this kind of like a heading within your Gmail or calendar somebody trying to connect with you on like you can change that but you don't have to worry about that your screen capture screen like a bluish you can cast to a smart device so you have a smart TV you could cast from this device to that TV is a bigger screen but you can also use HDMI on the device to do external monitor leaving to the right we had your keyboard layout don't worry about that when we don't want to get that changed that'll give you some major issues typing and then you have your dark theme or light same setting I have mine on dark and it helps my eyes cuz I'm getting the bike all day I recommend this is not required but it does help your eyes to go back to that dark stain but if you need to connect to Wi-Fi like I said you do it brightness control battery unplug my charger now so if I was off battery green gets a little darker this minimal but now you know it's got 12 and a half hours left depending on usage and then this device that's the first thing I want to come this is where like your main controls are essentially for your spaceship it's all right here in the system tray I'm just next to the system tray we have her calendar kind of pop up here you can take you directly he sees little. Are the dates I have things on my calendar so it all core late for my Google Calendar here if I would have to pull it up real fast so that's handy to know you can set things up that way I will check your self and I got stuff going on and then this right here is your tote this is where if you have any pictures Fila sometimes going to come here once you click on this it's going to give you your options so if I scroll down here this becomes a pen I could pin that and it would go to my files and I could make it not important I just did a Google doc earlier and then just downloaded it as a PDF in Addison but this is a PDF format of a Google doc just downloaded that way and we'll get into that here in a little bit so I'll close moving to the far left all the way over here this little circle this is your loss for the Chromebook you click on this it's going to give you quick access to the main applications on the device file all that kind of stuff is if you see things on here that you don't wreck that's probably stuff is going to be managed by gmsd whether you know for application purposes or security purposes Google apps of some type that's good to know you can find the emblem you know the icon or you can type if you need to find something specific you can do that should walk I'm going back to your home page we have our Shelf here right kind of in the center these or remain icons are some of you may have different icons down here you can set this up how ever you want it like if you wanted your Google Chrome to be able to hear you wanted you two to be whatever if you double tap if you need two fingers and just tap on the actual elf you can click to Auto hide the shelf so we do that I like to do this on my devices cuz it just left to look at when I'm working on stuff but she ought to hide this can you pull up something by the way you can scroll back up anyway Becker settings double tap on the touchpad you can do always show up at the opposite of what we just elected and you can choose yourself position so if you're one of those people like I am and you use different operating systems that we know what most people use you can change this shelf to be on the left or the right ear or it would be over here and you can stretch your wallpaper Style so I have dark theme on you can collect Auto you can like wallpaper I think I clicked on the art to change it daily but these are just loaded it from the internet to the Chromebook do you want there to set it up for me fancy but yeah so there's your shelf the main thing of course that you need to know about yourself usually everything's going to be connected some way to Google Chrome calendars in Google Chrome your Gmail to Google Chrome YouTube is in Google Chrome Chromecast extension screencast these are all depended on the internet just like your calendars over here I mean it's right here but it's also in from Google Chrome getting started to what you guys were going to be normally do okay so this is going to be the main page you see if you will have a gmsd folder up here when you click on that is going to have saved link or URL in a websites that are very pertinent to all of our students the one thing that's not in this one that's probably in yours is the piercing connected URL that you guys need to use if it's not there just let me know that's an easy fix just kind of give you a quick rundown before go to a website you know what are we need to get to cover up nothing so we can get all of the same page for usage of of you the coronavirus you had your windows up here it's an extension so if you can tabs the kind of minimizing Musa left my screen recording hear from the Luma application so that's what that is this new tab and that's it. bookmark website like if you type in something here like you know Memphis weather or something like that like I have it here you can click the star and you can book market and you can create your own folders here and I'll show you how to do that or you can just you know book Market and like a bookmark bar in it, fresh you're just like my Memphis weather is nicer create a folder if come up are two fingers double tap on the touchpad and you can create your own folder here and you could be you know it could be Pearson no it's fine assignment whatever you need it to be I meant, so I can so you could do it and it's going to create itself Elizabeth right here that if you don't have any or to the right of the ones you just have and then when you save a bookmark you know you can go here so I got new folder whatever you needed it to be like I wanted to say something to eat just I IQ here's our ticketing system I could go to there and say the URL there and save or bookmark the highly recommend doing that especially after this Stephen hear that you guys are going to use every day I'm highly recommend creating a folder or putting it in a folder so I can get these Lee actress it is if you have a tab open nobody said something new like the previously mentioned so Memphis weather Memphis weather and then I could just kind of touch right here with two fingers I could pin tab it's not a direct website but I could pin it so any time I came over here and you know I hear thunder outside and I'm doing some school work I can go over here I can click refresh and it would give me the weather what's going on okay so two fingers on a on a on a tab can it you can also unpin them by doing the same thing and then you can close the window all right to the right you have extensions hair this is like your extension drop down everything that's in your extensions is probably pre-loaded I miss you guys. add this Chrome desktop I highly recommend you guys just download it and we'll go to that second this is very helpful for me that way I can ask this is your I can access your guys's device while I'm troubleshooting stuff or if you're working on something you like hey don't get this or this this website acting up can you can I show it to you, I'll ask you to do this so we can just go ahead and do that now and I'm going to get the actual website may I have the extension here but some of you may not have it so you did

Fisher puts out a lot of communication especially for students in high school but younger students as well stick through 8th grade when you guys are having issues were Virtual School the main communication that we have is email so make sure you guys take a note if it starts Fisher if it's Miss Jody if it's me to Tammy learning coaches make sure you're staying on top of that stuff if they see if you're having some issues you know with the Simon story Chromebook messing up with her stay on top of that but just a quick overview for students who are not that well you know versed in the Gmail World compose button you can compose an email I'm going to send this to myself to my other email my personal one so cast hi please this so you can pass them out and then what they had to attach files it could be a link from your emojis you can go straight pictures of confidential mode if you just wanted it to be between you and somebody else you can insert a signature I should have to worry about that and more options would be I can make this for screen I could change my label site safe and left inside request by let's say I was going to do next I meant can I pull up my files just like earlier and let's say it was this you know it's finally here so I double click and boom there it is do I send that Caleb here hopefully he's reading his email okay as you can see here I have two emails that I haven't read these came in recently I have to check those cuz they're busting my ball this is your main mode of communication so don't take this for granted don't let it slip out of your head like I don't I don't do anything with that your email one last thing before stop rambling you guys may have to print something so what we're going to do to go back to our Google Drive pull up this PDF bring it up it's thinking all right so here's our assignment in writing and as you can see add a printer emblem up here I need the other a clumsy designate how this was stayed where it would save the exact folder in in Google Drive can I add a comment if somebody else was checking this if I shared it you know somehow I will drive with it with my teacher something like that should have to worry about the you but this printer emblem so let's say you have a wireless printer in your house if you don't have a wireless printer in your printer is ethernet only worry I'm not going to forget about you let's say for now if it's a wireless printer in your setting this Chromebook up for the first time to print click on print going to go to this new window here a Sprint here what are the tricks about PDF Sunday May know this already some of you may not if you need to stay if you need to say something as a PDF you can go you can go just right like it going to print it save it as a PDF I mean it's very easy when you're working in Google Docs just a downloaded PDF and go from there but the Austin is also here okay I'm going to try to find my wireless printer so you can drive PDF I want more options say more PDF and here's my printer it is literally right under the front look at my desk so it's reading the wireless signal okay let's say you couldn't see your friend or you've never printed from this printer you go down here to manage and you can add printer like I could save this one if I wanted to print I'll save it now if my printer add a printer you go to hear you could name it and then you need to go to that printer and find the IP address in the settings okay don't worry about abbreviation the acronym p i p i p before IPv6 that you just need the IP address from the printer okay on your home who knows how to find that if not I can show you how to search it by using your Chromebook or you could call me or email me and I'm more than happy to help you but you get that IP address and just as an example you know this okay you would add that then you would name it printer when you add it okay what you added it it would look like this be safe and then you could save it and it would be in your safe printer and once you do all of that when you're in the back in your document you was selected and then you would print anything comes up with some issues just reach out to me for our ethernet folks you know your printer is Ethan it only you need to find a USB adapter that goes from USB that's on the Chromebook to Ether and then just run the connection from the Chromebook to the printer and what you do that it should go ahead and pop up here I'm you may have to manually count to go in the first time I searched destinations whatever if you do go to manage should be a fight here at least because it's going to be reading it with a hard line connection anything else comes up with that just reach out to me okay all right so I covered a lot this video was a bit like there's anything else that I've missed anything else that you guys don't understand what a please please please don't hesitate to reach out to me I'm here for you guys that is literally the definition of my job okay so I'm going to head out on this video I will see you in our next video with we are final video or I will cover everything we need to know about Pearson thanks.
