Secure Testing on Chromebooks

Most of the secure tests students might expect to encounter can be taken on a district issued Chromebook.  This includes AP, ELPA and whatever SBAC is called this year.  Bear in mind it HAS to be a managed district device, students will NOT be able to use personal Chromebooks or laptops.  Yes...that means Macbooks too.

They also must NOT sign into their Chromebook.  Instead, they will click the "Apps" button at the bottom left of the login screen:

Upon selecting Apps, student test takers will be presented with a buffet of testing possibilities:

Not all will be germane to the high school experience (NWEA is mostly primary and middle).  For example, AP students will select Bluebook.  When the test loads, then students will sign in with whatever credentials the proctor provides.

So...

• No personal devices
• Don't sign into the Chromebook

Update Chromebook

Google isn't one to take initiative when it comes to updating the Chromebooks, typically they must be updated by hand.  Students don't have access to settings in the Chrome browser, but they should be able to access what they need to update from the control panel.

1. Click the clock on the taskbar.

2. Click the settings gear.

3.Click on "About Chrome OS

4. Check version.

5. Click to update.

When it's done it will ask you to reboot.
