Use the Chrome Browser

3/18/2020

Since we use Chromebooks at school, and Google is a huge part of our digital ecosystem, I recommend downloading and installing the Chrome browser for your computer.  With Chrome, students will log-in with their same username and password from school, and all of their bookmarks, plug-ins (like Kami), and saved password will be available to them.  This also allows you to log out of your account on a shared pc, limiting what your child has access to.
Follow these steps to get Chrome and get them connected:

If you don't have Chrome
  1. Go here to download: https://www.google.com/chrome/
  2. Install the software. 
  3. After you have successfully installed and started Chrome, you should be presented with a button to "Sign in".
  4. This is where your student will use their school email address (must enter username followed by @menifeeusd.org) and password.

If you already have Chrome
  1. Open Chrome if it is not already open.
  2. In the top right corner, you should see a round circle icon.  This may have a picture, or a colored letter, etc.
  3. Click on that icon to open the profile menu.
  4. At the very bottom of the menu, there will be an option to "+  Add".
  5. Give the profile a name and choose an icon. 
  6. There is also an option to "Create a desktop shortcut for this user", make sure that is selected. This will give them their own link to start the Chrome browser with their information.
  7. A new Chrome browser window will start.  On the splash page, you will see an option at the bottom "Already a Chrome user? Sign in"
  8. This is where your student will use their school email address (must enter username followed by @menifeeusd.org) and password.

Please let me know if you are not able to get this setup, as I can try and connect remotely to help.
