If you need help "Assuring Tech-cess in the Digital Age," District 64's upcoming Parent University Chromebook 101 program is for you. The session will be held on Monday, April 27 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Carpenter School, 300 N. Hamlin, Park Ridge.
Parents will learn all about the Chromebook and various Google Apps, and will have the "hands on" opportunity to navigate some basic settings and learn about extensions and apps.
The session will also provide guidance in managing device usage at home, including an overview of the SecURLy filtering system, as well as ways to promote positive and productive digital citizenship.
If you are a 2nd grade parent, this would be a great opportunity to learn and ask questions about the 1:1 Chromebook program for students in grades 3-8. Parents of all grade levels and adult community members are welcome.
The program will be facilitated by District 64 Instructional Technology Coaches Megan Preis (Lincoln) and Rachel Labuz (Washington). The evening is free and is timed so you may attend and stay for the Board of Education meeting that follows!
