Make Life Better (Optional)

Here are a few things you can do to improve your technology experience...

Get Accidental Damage Protection on your device:
If offered, be sure to get Accidental Damage Protection on your device - these days, damage repair is nearly as expensive as getting a new computer.

 

DO NOT hold your device by its screen:
Students have a nasty habit of handling their computer by its screen. Don't do this! You will just end up with a broken screen.

 

Google Chrome:
Be sure you are using Google Chrome as your default browser

  • Ensure Sync is turned on by clicking the CLHS logo with your initial -> Turn Sync On
  • Make a few changes to your Chrome settings by clicking the 3-dots to the right of the CLHS logo with your initial -> Settings
    • Appearance (left panel) -> Turn on Show Home button and enter google.com (or whatever you want your homepage to be)
    • Appearance (left panel) -> Turn on Show Bookmarks Bar
    • Downloads (left panel) -> Turn on Ask where to save each file before downloading
  • Add Bookmarks to FACTS, email, Google Classroom, etc
  • You might want to add bookmarks to these sites as well
