- None of the Teacher Leaders will be available next Monday and Tuesday (including myself)
- Not to be sappy, but I am thankful for all of you who have invited me in to your classrooms. I gambled on this position this year; I love teaching kids. My goal was to influence more students in this position than I could’ve as a classroom teacher. There is no data that can prove the success of that goal, but the staffs at both MS have really embraced the challenge of technology integration. I cannot tell you how personally grateful I am of that.
- Have students (or you) log onto Chrome by pressing the three little lines and “signing in” that way as opposed to the “google log in” on the big screen
- Teachers who want to have other gmail accounts linked can “add a user” on the settings page to easily toggle back and forth
- An icon that you select will be present on the upper left hand corner of the screen once you have more than one user…and you can press it to change users easily.
- This option should only be done for teachers…not students.
- Students may have to log into the “google log in” on the big screen next
- Select “link data”
- Go back to settings and select “show bookmarks bar” (one time only)
- If on a student computer, students should log off, but if they don’t they will be logged off automatically when they log off the computer.

Good morning and
Happy Thanksgiving week!
A couple notes
before the tips:
Anyway….on
with a REALLY USEFUL TIP FOR EVERYONE!!!
Just wanted to give
you a small tip this week about signing into Chrome. (this same thing
can be done with FireFox, but slightly different buttons to push)
Signing into Chrome
is something that you can do at home and here at school to make sure that your
internet settings and bookmarks are the same everywhere you sign in.
This certainly has value; you can bookmark a website at home and its in the
bookmarks when you come to school automatically.
THIS HAS HUGE
IMPLICATIONS FOR STUDENTS!
If students can
bookmark class websites or other important chrome apps for their education,
they can access it no matter which computer they log onto in school or at
home. This allows them little programs and webpages at their finger tips
everywhere they have an internet browser.
Here is
the advanced version:
Here is
the differentiated version with visuals:
Click
the three little linesà Sign into Chrome (NOTE THAT THIS IS DIFFERENT
THAN YOU USUALLY SIGN IN!!!!!!)
Now put in your
username and password (mine is: cmcdonald@linnmar.k12.ia.us
and a password that I set up)
IF you get the
message below, it means that you have more than one person signed onto your
Chrome…I do because I have a personal gmail account and a school
account. If the account listed on the message box is yours, simply push
“Create new user”; if it is NOT YOURS, push “link anyway” to log them off and
you on. IF you create a new user, you’ll just create a little icon for
you school account. Contact me for more information about this
It may ask you to
sign in again, go ahead and do that. That previous message will only
happen in a small amount of teacher computers, this is where instruction for
students would pick up. Press “link data” to connect user account
information onto this machine. (BTW—student computers wipe out this
information each time a new person logs on to the computer…meaning that
students that forget to log out after they are completed will not be hijacked
by others…but also means that students have to sign into chrome each time they
get on)
DO NOT IMPORT
BOOKMARKS!!! Press the three little lines next!!
Select “always show
bookmarks bar”. I believe you only have to do this once to have your
bookmarks available everytime you log into chrome on a different computer.
Voila! You
now have your bookmarks and Chrome apps available to you automatically.
See you next
Wednesday!
