Logging Into the Chrome Browser/Bookmark Bar Access

Out of request from many teachers working within the first learning progression/block of skills for getting to know the Chromebook, I've created a quick 1:15 minute video on logging into the Chrome browser and accessing/adding to the Bookmark Bar. Typically if you log into Chrome from an actual Chromebook, you will not need to enter your username and password to login to the browser again aside from the start-up screen of the actual device. You may need to do this if you are on the Chrome browser from a desktop or from home (definitely be sure to download the Chrome browser to your at home computer!).

The bookmark bar allows you to drag and drop links to websites that you visit often.  Each time you are on a Chrome browser that is synced to your email log in, you will have access to your bookmarks wherever you go!  For those of you looking to take your online bookmarking further to include annotating and student interaction, check out setting up a free account on Diigo!

Around the 21 second mark, you may notice my screen change once I've logged in.  Once logged into Chrome/Google, my settings I have saved and apps I have stored on my Chrome browser can now be viewed.  The one you see is called the Incredible Startpage, and you can install this to your Chrome browser by searching for it in the Chrome Web Store.  Simply type in Incredible Startpage in the search box.
