More and more Chromebooks are finding their way into our classrooms. In today's TechSpot I want to highlight some of the keyboard and touchpad functionalities of the device. As teachers working on mainly Windows machines, it makes it challenging to offer tips to students as they are working, especially at the elementary level.
Below I have remixed a resource from another Google Trainer that illustrates some of the key functions, shortcuts and, my personal favorite, touchpad capabilities!
Consider sharing this resource with your students by:
- displaying it through your projector during free time
- to allow for self-discovery/exploration learning
- print the poster and display for students to reference while working
- print on 11 x17 paper if possible
- if not Print > More Settings > Scale > Fit to Page
- post on Google Classroom as a "Material"
As always you will be fascinated with how quickly the kids can pick up on these tips!
I especially love the touchpad tips, consider starting with those!

Have other questions about the way your devices operate?
- SMAMS has started a Tech Assistants - Geek Squad who are putting together resources to help teachers and students work with our devices. Check out what we have so far, and offer ideas for new posts in the comments below! Once we get a good bank of resources we will start sharing them in a common space.

Note this is a working brainstorm sheet, students are still figuring out permissions, etc.
