Chromebooks
Duxbury Public Schools provides Chromebooks for students. The district utilizes Google's G Suite for Education.
The HP Chromebook G7 EE is a lightweight notebook computer weighing 2.7 pounds. It features the same size 11.6-inch LCD display students were used to with the MacBook Air. The hinge on the HP Chromebook opens 180° allowing the screen to lay completely flat on a table. It charges with a USB Type-C charger.
Using A Chromebook
An Overview
Chromebooks are fairly simple. When you open the lid of a Chromebook, it automatically powers on (assuming the battery is charged). It only takes a few seconds to boot and you'll be at the login window. Users will sign-in with their school-issued Google Account credentials.
Centrally Managed
The Chromebooks issued by the Duxbury Public Schools are managed by the technology department. Only approved applications are allowed to be downloaded and installed via the Play Store or Chrome Web Store. In addition, Internet content filtering is also installed on the Chromebook.
