The Samsung Chromebook differs from a regular student computer in that it is only a portal to the web. It will not come with the traditional software you find on VDI workstations or on the student laptops/desktops. Users will not have access to Active Directory staff and student drives. You will use the district Google Drive account to login, and it will also serve as a workflow solution.

Google Classroom is now available as part of the Google Apps for Education Suite. Classroom is designed to help teachers create and collect assignments paperlessly, including time-saving features like the ability to automatically make a copy of a Google Document for each student. It also creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each student to help keep everyone organized.
Once logged into your Chromebook, go to classroom.google.com and sign in. Select teacher, and then click on join a class.
