What Are Chromebooks?

Signing In To Your Chromebook

Every student in PTSD has a Google Account which was created by the PTSD Technology Dept. Each student will log into their Chromebook with their student Google Account. When the Chromebook is turned on in school, it automatically connects to the PTHS Wi-Fi Network. The instructions for logging into the Chromebook are as follows:

In the Username window, enter username@pemb.org. Example, if your name is Pemberton Hornet, you will enter [email protected]
In the Password window, enter your password. The password is the same

password you use to log into any computer in PTSD.

The Sign-In Window looks the image below

If you forgot your password to log into your Google Account, contact the PTHS Technology Dept. to get your password reset. Once the your password is reset, you’ll be prompted to change their password. The password will be reset to Pemberton with a capital P. The new password that you create must be at least 8 characters long & the new password can’t be a password that was previously used. You’ll be prompted to change the password to something that you’ll remember. Once your password has been changed, keep your password in a safe place & DON’T share your password with anyone.

Connecting Your Chromebook to Wi-Fi at Home

When the Chromebook is turned on in school, it automatically connects to the PTHS Wi-Fi Network but when you turn on your Chromebook at home, you must connect your Chromebook to your Home Wi-Fi Network. In order to connect the Chromebook to your Wi-Fi Network at home, the instructions are as follows:

Turn on your Chromebook.
Click on your Account Photo.
Click No Network.
To turn on Wi-Fi, click on switch.
Your Chromebook will automatically look for available networks and show them to you in a list.
Click on your Wi-Fi Network & enter the password to access Wi-Fi- Network
Click Connect

*This process only has to be done once. Once the Chromebook connects to the Wi-Fi Network at home, it’ll connect automatically every time you turn the Chromebook.

Accessing Apps & Extensions

The Pemberton Twp. School District installed Apps & Extensions for Chrome on the Chromebook. In order to access the apps & extensions, follow the steps below:

Log into the Chromebook with your username & password.
Once you’ve logged into the Chromebook, click on the Launcher icon that looks like a Black circle with a small white circle inside it. It’s located in the lower left hand corner. The icon looks like the image below:

Once you click on the icon, the window (image below) will appear.

Click on the icon “ALL APPS” & you will see all of the apps & extensions installed on your Chromebook.
When you open up Chrome on your Chromebook there will be a folder of important links located on your bookmark bar (School Links). This folder will contain links pushed down from the tech department as needed (Outlook Web Access) etc.

Managing Files on the Chromebook

When you used the computers in your respective school, you saved your files locally on the computer or your H drive. You will have the option of saving your files on the H drive by using the Network File Sharing app installed on the Chromebook. Faculty can access their H drive when they’re in school but they’re not able to access the H drive when they out of district. When using the Chromebook, you can save & manage files in two different ways. You can save your files in the Downloads folder & Google Drive.

The following steps & video tutorial will show you how to manage files on the Chromebook.

Find and open a file

On your desktop, click the Launcher .
Click Files .
On the left, choose the place where your file is saved.
Find your file and double-click it to open.
