Chromebook Care And Use Presentation

This Chromebook Care slide deck, shared with all ABMS students and families, teaches students the everyday habits that keep their devices safe, charged, and ready to use. The lessons focus on responsibility, safety, and respectful use of shared school resources. Students learn how to prevent damage, handle troubleshooting situations, and advocate for themselves when a device needs attention.

These expectations support a smooth learning environment and help students build the digital responsibility skills they need across all classes.

Chromebook Assistance Form

This form streamlines our Chromebook support process and helps students take responsibility for their learning tools. When a device isn’t working, students complete the form to describe the issue, share what they’ve already tried, and request assistance.

If their Chromebook is unusable, teachers provide access to an iPad so the form can still be completed without delaying instruction.
The information collected allows me to:

track trends in damage or recurring issues
reduce classroom interruptions
prioritize repairs
prepare loaners when necessary
maintain accurate records for fees, warranty info, or district reporting

Students use this Chromebook Help Request Form to report issues, request support, or communicate device concerns quickly and clearly.

REAL Chromebook Care: Expectations for Responsible Use

This poster introduces students to our REAL expectations for responsible Chromebook use — Respectful, Engaged, Accountable, and Leaders. I created this resource to help students understand that Chromebooks are learning tools and that digital habits directly support the safety, integrity, and success of our school community. These expectations are taught during library orientation, revisited with classes throughout the year, and reinforced through digital citizenship lessons aligned with the district AUP and Common Sense Education guidance.
