Managing Chromebooks
● Chrome apps can be pushed out to students en masse from the Admin Dashboard.
● Apps can go to specific year groups, or the entire student body, depending on needs/organization
● Apps are not assigned to Chromebooks, they are assigned to end users, (ie. students and teachers).
● Once an app is pushed out to a user, they will have access to it on any Chromebook they log into with that account.
● If a student logs in with a personal Google account, they will have different apps to a school Google account.
