On Friday we had an introductory session with the students. This progressed well with a few issues.

Some of the things we did before the session follow:

• ensured that all chromebooks were charged
• checked student logins - we realised that the students need to know their email address to login to the chrome books. As the email addresses have a set format i.e. user id followed by @ parrastu...., it was straightforward to have the students work out their email. Once this was done the students were able to login.
• We had some students who had not used the user id for a while, so their password had to be reset. Once passwords are reset takes at least 12hours before Google Apps can be accessed.
• Our students from year three up all have their own passwords, so it is important that students create passwords that they will remember.

The session began well, the students seemed to be able to complete the tasks without too much assistance.

We found that the 30 chromebooks on the go at once, as well as other devices, it seemed to have caused the chromebooks to lag a little especially when sharing documents.

This will be something we will monitor to see it was a one session problem or an ongoing one.

A great session.
